Applications
Typical applications of Ketone Resins
Inks, Coatings and Adhesives
Ketone Resins can be used as co-binders in paints, lacquers, printing inks and other inks. They not only increase the solids content and accelerate drying speed but also improve numerous properties such as hardness, gloss and film build. Adhesion on various substrates is increased, which together with its resistance to hydrolysis, enhances corrosion protection.
Paints
In paint formulations, Ketone Resin can make the products have high hardness, gloss and flexibility . At the same time it can reduce viscosity and decrease pitting and improve adhesion , leveling and solid content.It is suitable for producing hammer finish, nitro-metal paint, such as mechanical finishing paint, wooden varnishand transparent stable color paints.
Inks
In printing inks, such as laminated ink, gravure printing ink, surface printing ink, flexography ink, anti-forgery ink and ball pen ink, adding Ketone Resin ( 2 -15% in ink formula) can improve pigment wetting, luster, adhesion, printable,solid content and drying time.
Ketone Resin can resolve the problem of poor adhesion on some substrates, such as PE, PP, PET and PVC and also improves fluidity and adhesion of ball pen ink. It can be used also in food packing ink.
Adhesives
It is very suitable to manufacture nitrocellulose adhesive, which can be used for leather, paper and other similar material
Polyurethane Resins
Resins such as Ketone Resin 610 which contain hydroxyl groups are also used for modification of (for example PUR) binders.
Our Ketone Resins ''urethane grade” react easily with mono and di-isocyanates, such as HDI, TDI, MDI and IPDI. Different combinations of polyols and modifiedketone resin are used for “PUR system”.
Highly active hydroxyl group can react with isocyanate to improve the resistance to water, heat and corrosion. This technology is used in a wide variety of applications including indoor and outdoor floor coatings.
