SOLBIN® C5R

SOLBIN® C5R is a copolymer of vinyl chloride (VC) and vinyl acetate (VAc).

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® C5R Product Characteristics

  • Soluble in ketones, esters and chlorinated hydrocar-bons. Use aromatic hydrocarbons as diluent solvents. Insoluble in alcohol, oil and aliphatic hydrocarbons.
  • Chemically stable and is unaffected by acids and alkalis at normal temperature.
  • It combines high water resistance with low moisture permeability and low water absorption.
  • Tough, resilient and non-flammable.
  • SOLBIN® C5R is colorless and transparent with a high re-fraction index, it can be changed into any bright color and produces a highly glossy film.
  • It possesses an excellent ability to resist the effects of weather and aging.
  • As a thermoplastic, films made with Solbin C5R can be easily heat sealed.
