ACumist® B-6

Medium density polyethylene (MDPE) Homopolymer

Overview
Smallest particle size, highest performing Micronized Polyethylene Homopolymer, for use in general purpose solvent borne and UV/EB cured coatings, can and container coatings, solvent based gravure and flexographic and generally liquid inks. It is especially useful for improving slip and rubs in inks. As with all ACumist products, it is insoluble in solvents and UV based monomers and oligomers at room temperature. Also used to improve sandability of coating primers.Use SDS Number 11463 to retrieve the safety data sheet using the SDS Finder.
