Acrylic Resin

Elvacite® acrylic resins are polymers or copolymers of methyl methacrylate or other acrylic monomers for use in solvent-applied lacquers, inks, adhesives and specialty coatings. Elvacite® acrylic resins have a wide range of molecular weight, flexibility and functionality, and are particularly well suited for protective and decorative coatings for plastics, metals, concrete, wood and paper.

Product Polymer type Tg Mw Feature & Application
