Hicoat 74
ACRYLIC EMULSION

Summary
Hicoat 74 is a soft film forming polymer used as modifier in overprint varnishes and as the letdown vehicle to provide adhesion to film and substrates. Having good pigment wetting and viscosity stability allows it to be used in the grind stage of dry pigment dispersions. It is suitable for printing on Films and Foils.

Characteristics
  • Good viscosity stability
  • Good pigment wetting
  • Low foaming – good compatibility with defoamers
  • Excellent Rheology properties – good transfer & printability
  • Good grease & water resistance
  • Good ice crinkle resistance
  • Good adhesions to a wide variety of flexible films that have been corona tested to a minimum of 35 dynes
