VINNAPAS® EF 3101

VINNAPAS® EF 3101 by Wacker is a vinyl acetate-ethylene-copolymer (VAE) dispersion. It is a very elastic and flexible dispersion. Offers a very high compressibility and develops a high degree of smoothness, enabling superior print quality and good ink transfer from the plate cylinder onto the paper. Moreover, the new binder provides the coating with good calendered sheet gloss and high opacity. Surfaces coated with the new binder facilitate a clear, sharp print image with bright colors and good ink gloss. It is manufactured without the use of alkylphenol ethoxylate (APEO) surfactants. VINNAPAS® EF 3101 further shows similar rheology behavior to alternative binders such as styrene acrylics and styrene-butadiene latexes. VINNAPAS® EF 3101 is particularly suitable for rotogravure coatings on paper for high-end magazines, catalogs, books and packaging. It complies with the EU ecolabel requirements for graphic paper and different food contact regulations.
