Wacker VINNOL E22/48A Hydroxyl-Containing Ternary VC/VAc Resin — Vinyl Chloride Copolymer for Two-Component Coatings, Inks and Adhesives, 25 kg/bag

Full name and product positioning Product full name: Wacker VINNOL® E22/48A hydroxyl-containing vinyl chloride terpolymer resin (VC/VAc resin) VINNOL® E22/48A is a hydroxyl-containing vinyl chloride / hydroxy acrylate / dicarboxylate terpolymer resin from Wacker (Germany), CAS No. 114653-42-8. Its molecular chain contains approx. 1.8 wt% free hydroxyl groups, so it can be used as a reactive resin or co-binder in two-component systems, crosslinking and curing with isocyanates, epoxy, amino resins and similar curing agents. It is used mainly as a film-forming binder for surface coatings and printing inks.
