Mirel™ 8000 Latex is a 55% suspension of semicrystalline Mirel™ biodegradable resin with a a particle size is 1-3 um and typical viscosity from 300-500 centipoise. Mirel™ 8000 coated paper is repulpable, compostable, marine and fresh water degradable. Mirel™ 8000 can be coated onto paper using rod, blade, gravure or flexographic coating equipment. Mirel™ latex can also be used to coat particles as well giving them a hydrophobic surface while being inherently biodegradable. Mirel™ 8000 can also be used as a binder or resin in ink systems or architectual coatings. view less
