Picco™ A120

Low molecular weight, non-polar, amber colored thermoplastic resin produced from petroleum-derived monomers. Acts as a binder in protective coatings. Is characterized by its excellent resistance to acids, alkalies and moisture. Shows good color stability and, when formulated with elastomers, a good balance of flex, tear, tack and adhesion properties. Has excellent solvent release, tack and tack retention. Is extremely water repellent, provides excellent pigment wetting, and can be used with both reinforcing and non-reinforcing fillers. It shows excellent leafing and solvent-release properties in metallic cold-cut paints. In drying-oil-based coatings, it improves drying time and abrasion resistance of leadfree drier systems.
