VC polymers for printing inks and coatings for flexible packaging materials 

vinyl chloride-vinyl acetate copolymer are used as a binder in various industrial applications, like coatings. varnishes & adhesives

Main Applications:

• Printing inks: Especially for flexographic and gravure printing inks on films (such as PVC, PET, and other plastics).
• Coatings: Used in surface coatings for plastics, paper, and aluminum foils.
• Adhesives: As a component in adhesives for films and foils.
• Overprint varnishes: For improving gloss and abrasion resistance.

Key Features:

• Good adhesion to a variety of substrates (plastics, paper, but especially metals)
• Excellent film-forming properties
• Good resistance to chemicals and abrasion

Vinyl Chloride polymers are mostly used in printing inks and coatings for flexible packaging materials (such as plastic films and foils) but also as co-binder in acrylic and epoxy metal coatings. Vinyl Chloride is also used in adhesives and overprint varnishes.
