Product Overview
Elvacite® 2042 is a high molecular weight ethyl methacrylate polymer.
It is a solid bead resin that is soluble in a wide range of solvents including ketones, ethers, ester, and aromatic hydrocarbons.
In addition, it can tolerate alcohol in formulations without becoming hazy.
Elvacite® 2042 forms tough, abrasion resistant, high gloss films and is an excellent resin for scratch resistant coatings for decals and outdoor signage.
Additionally, Elvacite® 2042 has been used in wood putty because of its outstanding durability and broad compatibility.
