- Product Highlights
- TRAPYLEN® 186 X has a higher chlorine content than other grades which results in a comparatively good compatibility with other resins and polymers and excellent pigment wetting. The cured film has a high gloss and a remarkable chemical and aging resistance.
- Its main merit is the outstanding adhesion on untreated polypropylene, PP/EPDM thermoplastic rubber and - with limitations - on polyethylene.
- Its resistance against fatty oil and grease is limited and must be compensated in combining it with other lower chlorinated TRAPYLEN® grades.
- It is only recommended as a binder resin for screen printing inks and as an adhesion promoter in plastic paints and solvent based contact adhesives on NR/SBR/polychloroprene basis.
