Ixan^® Multi-Purpose PVDC Resins

Ixan^® soluble resins are excellent adhesion primers with barrier functionality on aluminum, metallized films and substrates, plastic films, paper, cellulose film, steel and wood. They are suitable for subsequent coating with Diofan^® dispersions, the aqueous PVDC range for barrier coatings from Solvay Specialty Polymers.

Ixan^® soluble resins can be used as binders in print-inks and in lacquer formulations as well as for heat-sealable protective varnishes.

Ixan^® aluminum coating grades can be used to make foils reliably seal to themselves or to other webs, such as plastic foils, without losing barrier properties.

Ixan® SGA 1 is a copolymer based on vinylidene chloride and vinyl chloride monomers. The unrivalled performance of Ixan SGA 1 is due to the combination of its outstanding adhesion characteristics combined with barrier properties. It can be used as a primer on a wide range of substrates, offering binding capabilities for print inks and paints, as well as protective varnishes.

In addition to barrier properties, Ixan® SGA 1 provides chemical resistance for coatings and coverings slong with heat-sealability, transparency, and glossiness for coatings. This grade is soluble in a wide range of common organic solvents at room temperature.

Ixan PNE 613 is a top coat for the coating of cellulosic or plastic films in a solvent mixture of tetrahydrofuran (THF) & toluene (TOL). This grade offers improved flexibility and sealing properties.

Ixan PNE 288 is a PVDC resin for coating of cellulosic or plastic films (PET), soluble in a solvent mixture of tetrahydrofuran (THF) & toluene (TOL). Coatings with this grade provide exceptionally low permeability for gases and moisture.
