Additional Information
- Chemical nature
- Thermoplastic methacrylic resin
- Applications
- for sealing aluminium or PET foils versus polypropylene and polystyrene for food packaging
- Advantages
- weather resistance
colorfastness
high brilliance
scratch resistance
- Storage
- keeps for one year from date of delivery if stored tightly closed in a cool place. Before processing, Degalan® PM 555 must be well stirred, since storage can lead to phase separation.
- Handling
- In order to ensure that the adhesion to aluminium foil, the latter should be primered (1-2 μm dry film thickness) with a PVC copolymer, e.g. Vinnol® H 15/45 from Wacker Chemie or in combination with the ration of 95/5 (solid to solid). Recommended film thickness of Degalan® PM 555 is 7μm., Dries physically on solvent evaporation. After brief airing, 15 sec. at 180°C., Degalan® PM 555 is dilutable with esters and ketones.
