JONCRYL ECO 2189
JONCRYL ECO 2189
JONCRYL® ECO 2189 is a hard, non-film forming, RC acrylic emulsion that is glycol ether free and is ultra-low VOC. This emulsion provides gloss and holdout in flexo and gravure formulations for paper and paperboard inks and overprint varnish applications. As a modifier, it also contributes to improved dry speed.
This product allows the formulator to develop ultra-low VOC, glycol ether-free products to meet stringent industry standards. These polymers provide an 80% reduction in VOC compared to conventional water-based polymers. They are ideal for demanding packaging applications like confectionary or food packaging markets that cannot tolerate solvent odor contamination. Additionally, the excellent compatibility and printability of JONCRYLÂ ECO polymers makes them an ideal system for next generation printing inks and overprint varnishes.
JONCRYL ECO 2189 is recommended for applications such as:
- Printing inks for flexographic or gravure applications
- Overprint varnishes for packaging, commercial, or publication applications
