PLEXTOL D 276: binder for self-adherent coatings. PLEXTOL D 276 is an aqueous emulsion of a thermoplastic acrylic polymer.

REVACRYL AE 3020: binder for elastic coatings. REVACRYL AE 3020 is a finely dispersed, aqueous dispersion of a acrylic ester-styrene copolymer. The dispersion contains an anionic emulsifier system and is free from film forming aids, solvents, and plasticizers.

ACRALEN BS is a binder for non-woven textiles. ACRALEN BS is an aqueous emulsion of a self-crosslinking styrene-butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer.

ALCOTEX WD100 is a suspending agent for vinyl chloride polymerisation. ALCOTEX WD100 is an aqueous solution of a 43% hydrolysed polyvinyl alcohol. It has been specifically developed by Synthomer Ltd as a secondary suspending agent for vinyl chloride polymerisation. Infinitely dilutable in water, and with an extremely low methanol content, ALCOTEX WD100 offers increased PVC resin porosity and reduced levels of gels or ‘fish eyes’ when compared to traditional products.In optimised recipes, improvements can be obtained in the porosity/bulk density relationship. Better porosity facilitates both monomer removal and plasticiser uptake. These criteria are further enhanced when ALCOTEX WD100 is used with the ALCOTEX range of primary suspending agents. ALCOTEX WD100 is also compatible with other conventional primary suspending agents. NMR measurements have shown that ALCOTEX WD100 has a random distribution of acetate groups. The data below represents typical values obtained with different batches of ALCOTEX WD100.
