Hydro-Rez™ 1000D A is a water-based sulfo polyester polymer dispersion that can be used in combination with a higher Tg sulfo polyester polymer as a plasticizing resin or just as a lone resin. When it is used as a plasticizer, the polymer improves film formation, adhesion and flexibility on non-absorbent substrates. The product is a stable dispersion with no surfactants or solvents. Since it has no ammonia or amines for neutralization, pH neutral inks formulated with Hydro-Rez™ resins don't need pH adjustment on the press. The polymer has the benefit of giving off gloss, adhesion, transparency, fast drying speeds, low odor and scuff resistance on coatings, inks and primers. It is ideally suited for use in water-based primers and coatings or in water-based gravure and flexo inks. view less
