RHOBARR™ 214 Emulsion

What is RHOBARR™ 214 Emulsion?

An acrylic copolymer latex. RHOBARR™ 214 is designed for use in paper and board coatings offering mineral oil barrier properties as well as plasticizer resistance for thermal paper applications. It has been developed to be applied by most common aqueous coating or printing methods. Good performance can be achieved by using binder-rich coating formulations in applications where fatty acid, mineral oil, or plasticizer resistance is important. This latex incorporates plant-based raw materials (31% biocarbon content).

Uses

Barrier coating for paper and paperboard coatings
Fatty acid barrier
Mineral oil barrier
