Products in Thermal Transfer Printing: Water Resistance

Tykote 1019 is a carboxylated styrene-butadiene emulsion that has a firm hand with excellent film strength properties. It is intended for use as a base polymer in the formulation of barrier coatings for paper and paperboard packaging. Tykote 1019 imparts excellent water resistance, and has good adhesion to a wide variety of surfaces. Tykote 1019 is recommended for use in paper and paperboard coatings where a high degree of water and water vapor resistance is needed. It may also be formulated into barrier laminating adhesives for paper-to-paper, paper-to-film, and foil-to-paper. Request the Tykote Products for Excellence in Barrier Coatings bulletin to learn more. Regulatory Status Detailed global food contact compliances are available upon request. Tykote 1019 is synthesized to meet European regulatory requirements.

WÜKONIL® RT 50 is a paraffin dispersion for waterbased coatings. It's properties and advantages are Improves block-resistance Improves water resistance Improves rub resistance Improves slip. Our high quality wax emulsions and dispersions are a necessity for all customers who prefer working with ready-made emulsions or dispersions in contrast to a dry wax. The ease of incorporation is the key benefit of liquid products.

WÜKONIL® RT 50 F is an aqueous wax-dispersion for waterbased coating systems. Our high quality wax emulsions and dispersions are a necessity for all customers who prefer working with ready-made emulsions or dispersions in contrast to a dry wax. The ease of incorporation is the key benefit of liquid products.

Michem® Lube 743 - A wax emulsion has excellent compatibility in water-based coating applications and provides water, block, and mar resistance.

OMBRELUB 533 is a nonionic, very finely dispersed and stable dispersion of calcium stearate in water. It is easily miscible with water at all ratios. The calcium stearate is an excellent water-repellent agent. In waterborne printing inks and external wood coatings OMBRELUB 533 is applied to increase waterproofing properties. OMBRELUB 533 is also recommended for the manufacture of concrete building components.

Michem® Prime 4990R provides outstanding adhesion to both metallic and cellulosic substrates and enhances the water, grease, oil, and solvent-resistance of coatings and adhesives. It can serve as a tie coat or primer for extrusion coatings, a foil laminate, specialty paper coating, paper sizing agent, heat sealable coating, and a nonwoven binder, and used as a thermally active binder in thermal transfer release coatings.

Michem® Lube 270R provides excellent water and block resistance in paint and coating formulations. This product is useful for long term water bead and for water repellency on wood as well as a tire dressing and buffability for auto care.

Michem® Prime 4983R provides outstanding adhesion to both metallic and cellulosic substrates and enhances the water, grease, oil, and solvent-resistance of coatings and adhesives. It can serve as a tie coat or primer for extrusion coatings, a foil laminate, specialty paper coating, paper sizing agent, heat sealable coating, and a nonwoven binder, and used as a thermally active binder in thermal transfer release coatings.
