DSM NeoResins has recently introduced new acrylic resins for the global Graphic Arts markets.

• NeoCryl® A-2061 is an acrylic styrene emulsion for use in the overprint varnishes and liquid inks. This resin shows excellent printability and transparency offering high gloss, hard and block resistance films. NeoCryl A-2061 is free of glycol ethers and therefore suitable to formulate low odour and low VOC printing inks and OPV’s.
• NeoCryl® A-2082 is a new acrylic styrene copolymer dispersion for matt overprint varnishes, flexo and gravure inks. This resin combines good printability with a strong matting effect, good transparency and block resistance. The product can be used as main resin in the overprint varnish formulation but can also be used as a gloss reducing additive.
• NeoCryl® B-859 is a solid acrylic polymer that can be used in 2 component systems. This flexible resin has an excellent adhesion on aluminium and shows good retort resistances. NeoCryl B-859 is recommended for heat resistance primers on aluminium and gravure inks which requires high resistance properties.
