Wacker VINNOL P38C VC/VAc Resin — VC/VAc Copolymer Powder for Industrial Protective Coatings, Adhesives and Printing Inks

Full name and product positioning Product full name: Wacker VINNOL® P 38 C vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer resin (VC/VAc resin) Wacker VINNOL® P 38 C is a binary copolymer resin of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate (approx. 61 wt% vinyl chloride, 39 wt% vinyl acetate). It is a general-purpose solvent-based binder, used mainly as the binder for surface coatings and printing inks, and can also serve as a modifier for rigid, semi-rigid and flexible PVC. It forms tough films with good chemical resistance and is suitable for industrial protective and corrosion-resistant coating systems.
