Overview
Elvacite™ MB-2595 is a amine-functional bead resin designed to meet the strict formulation requirements of inks and coatings, creating low-viscosity systems for films with an effective balance of flexibility and toughness. The narrow molecular weight distribution of Elvacite™ MB-2595 prevents brittleness, shrinkage, weathering, and more. Elvacite™ MB-2595 easily disperses pigments within systems and is typically used in the making of solvent-borne and UV digital inks, allowing for greater flexibility in solvent selection and formulation stability. As a non-reactive resin formulated with minimal residual polymerization initiator content, this compound can be used in reactive systems and offers compatibility with long oil alkyds. Elvacite™ MB-2595 can also be mixed in a 3:1 ratio with Elvacite™ MB-2594 for carbon black applications.
