Polymers

Ethene, homopolymer, used in painting and powder painting, good transparancy, flatting agent, good abrasion performance and hand feeling, improving demould.

A-C 6A is a low density polyethylene (LDPE) homopolymer in a powdered form, for use in solvent borne coatings, heatset and liquid solvent borne inks, to improve surface properties such as rub, mar & abrasion resistance, by lowering the COF. It is also used as a gellant for hydrocarbon oils, a paraffin crystal nucleator in wax blends such as candles, and a viscosity diluent in HMAs. Can also be partially substituted for FT (Fisher Tropsch) Wax in adhesive applications without detracting from formulation properties. Used in cable flooding compounds, along with polybutene. Is used as a dispersing agent in color masterbatch applications.

A-C 1702 is grease like, low temperature, completely amorphous, low density polyethylene (PE) homopolymer for use in solvent borne coatings; heat set, sheet fed solvent borne inks; and specialty digital and UV/EB inks to provide mar and rub resistance by lowering the coefficient of friction. Also used in lubricants to provide release. Will act as a plasticizer in paraffin based candles, especially large volume candles, to resist cracking.

A-C 8 is low density polyethylene (LDPE) homopolymer in a prill form, for use in solvent borne coatings, heatset and liquid solvent borne inks,to improve surface properties such as rub, mar & abrasion resistance, by lowering the COF. It is also used as a gellant for hydrocarbon oils, a paraffin crystal nucleator in wax blends such as candles, and a viscosity diluent in HMAs. Can also be partially substituted for FT (Fisher Tropsch) Wax in adhesive applications without detracting from formulation properties.
