SOLBIN® AL

SOLBIN® AL is a thermoplastic resin consisting of polyvinyl chloride (VC) , polyvinyl alcohol (VA) and polyvinyl acetate (VAc). Due to its lower molecular weight than Solbin A, it provides lower solution viscosity.

Vinyl Chloride-Vinyl Acetate Copolymer Resin

SOLBIN® is a modified resin that combines the toughness and chemical resistance of vinyl chloride, strong adhesiveness and plasticity of vinyl acetate, and other polar groups that enhance adhesivity and solubility. Due to its many outstanding characteristics, including its lack of odor or taste and high resistance to water penetration, SOLBIN® has been used as a binder for magnetic cards and tapes, as a coating agent for beverage drink cans and moisture-proof cellophanes, and as an essential part of various paints, inks, and adhesives.

Description

Copolymer resin with characteristics of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate.

SOLBIN® is a modified resin that combines the toughness and chemical resistance of vinyl chloride, strong adhesiveness and plasticity of vinyl acetate, and other polar groups that enhance adhesivity and solubility. Due to its many outstanding characteristics, including its lack of odor or taste and high resistance to water penetration, SOLBIN® has been used as a binder for magnetic cards and tapes, as a coating agent for beverage drink cans and moisture-proof cellophanes, and as an essential part of various paints, inks, and adhesives.

Characteristics of SOLBIN®
SOLBIN® is a copolymer resin prepared from vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate in addition to other elements, and has the following characteristics:

  • It dissolves in organic solvents such as ketone and ester.
  • It forms an odorless, tasteless, and transparent film.
  • It is highly resistant to chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and brine.
  • It forms a coating film highly resistant to water.
  • Its coating films are fire-retardant and self-extinguishing.
  • Its coating films are thermoplastic and heat-sealable.
  • It is highly compatible with urethane and melamine resins.
  • Products with hydrophilic groups favorably disperse inorganic pigments such as magnetic powder.
  • Products with hydroxyl groups react with isocyanate to form cross-links.

 

SOLBIN® AL Product Characteristics

  • Soluble in ketones, esters and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Use aromatic hydrocarbons as diluent solvents. Insoluble in alcohol, oil and aliphatic hydrocarbons
  • Films made from Solbin AL are tasteless, odorless, and unaffected at room temperature by alkalis, mineral acids, alcohol, oil and aliphatic hydrocarbons.
  • It combines high water resistance with low moisture permeability and low water absorption.
  • Offers superior mechanical properties such a anti-abrasion, flexibility and non-tackiness.
  • Imparts good, stable dispersibility to pigments and magnetic powder in paints and in dried layers even at high packing density.
  • Provides a wide choice for coating formulations due to its compatibility with various resins including polyurethane, epoxy resins, NBR, isocyanate, etc.
  • Reacts with organic groups such as isocyanete to form cross linking.
