GLASCOL LS2 is the monoethanolamine (MEA) salt of the resin of GLASCOL LE15 (emulsion of a carboxylated acrylic copolymer in water) GLASCOL LE15 and GLASCOL LS2 are specialty resins designed for use in water-based inks. The products are recommended as effective binders in water-based flexographic inks for corrugated boxes and kraft paper. The products demonstrate excellent machine stability due to the hydrophilic nature of the polymer and its excellent viscosity/pH stability in the pH range 7.8-9.0 (see below). Black standard corrugated box inks are still the main recommended market. Due to the ease of use on standard printing equipment (e.g. rapid resolubility) the products are also recommended as modifiers to more expensive resin systems for higher quality ink applications. Other uses include board coatings (neutralised or in emulsion form), paper coatings or as binders in poster paints or drawing inks. Monoethanolamine (MEA) salt of a carboxylated acrylic copolymer. Used as an effective binder in water-based flexographic inks for corrugated boxes and kraft paper. Provides very good machine stability such as rapid resolubility, hydrophilic nature of polymer and very good viscosity/pH stability. Can be used as a modifier to more expensive resin systems for higher quality ink applications, in board coatings (neutralised or in emulsion form), paper coatings and as a binder in poster paints or drawing inks.
