RHOPLEX™ R-225 Water-Borne Binder

Designed to be used in release coatings for masking tapes. It offers tape manufacturers the application advantages of water-based systems. This polymer is simple to formulate, requires no catalyst, and offers the good initial release and re-adhesion characteristics that are obtained with solvent-based release systems. It can be coated onto flat or creped saturated backings, offering a good release surface for the natural and synthetic rubber adhesives that are typically used for masking tape applications.It has been successfully coated onto saturated paper with varying degrees of creping using roll coaters with knife or rod metering devices as well as with air knife coaters. The product may be applied as received or in diluted form.
