Pro-Cote Soy Polymers New Developments
Pro-Cote Soy Polymer Introduction Innovative Water-Soluble Soy Polymers produced from soybean protein Key Product Characteristics - Proven performance Pigment-interactive, because of amphoteric product charge. Water Holding, through hydrated nature of dissolved polymer. Viscosity modification through hydrodynamic effects and interaction with pigments. Excellent high shear stability through polymer's protective colloid action. Good Binding Power, equivalent to or better than commodity SB latex. Multi Functional additive, replacing several other components in your coating
Pro-Cote Soy Polymer Introduction Opportunity to significantly reduce total cost: Functional Co-Binder (Pigments and Latex) Allowing lower total binder Process Runnability Agent (Rheology/Water Holding/Immobilization) Allowing higher productivity Stable or improved quality: Finishing and Converting Enhancer (Glueability/Anti-Blocking/Anti-Hazing/Reduced Dusting) Final Print Quality Improvements (Smoothness/Missing Dot/Ink Gloss)\ Biodegradable, Renewable Resource
Pro-Cote Soy Polymer New Developments Pro-Cote Soy Polymers is a family of products, adapted to several needs Latest developments: Improved performance Designed to be REACH compliant Reduced Carbon footprint Example: Pro-Cote E115702-6
Pro-Cote Soy Polymer New Developments Performance Functionality as adhesives In high GCC coatings stronger than SB Latex Resist depletion Strongly associated with other coating components Amphoteric (cationic / anionic) Colloidal material Renewable / Sustainable
Pro-Cote Soy Polymer Strong Binder Pro-Cote E115702-6 soy polymer Exceptional performance in Ground Calcium Carbonate coatings Strength Can be used alone or in combination with latexes to significantly reduce total binder (latex, starch etc.) Rheology Allows higher coating solids than other natural binders Strong water holding minimizes variation of coating solids in process Total cost reduction + stable (or improved) quality
