Product Overview
Excellent Flexibility Waterborne Acrylic Emulsion is a high-performance acrylic copolymer emulsion specifically engineered for demanding film printing inks and overprint varnishes (OPV). This advanced Waterborne Acrylic Emulsion is formulated to deliver an optimal balance of exceptional flexibility, high gloss, and superior transparency in the final film, making it an ideal sustainable binder for high-quality surface finishing and graphic arts applications on flexible packaging.Compared with conventional solvent-based systems, this environmentally friendly Waterborne Acrylic Emulsion offers significantly reduced VOC emissions, is non-flammable, and features low odor. It maintains outstanding application performance, characterized by excellent film-forming properties at a low Minimum Film Formation Temperature (MFFT of approx. 7°C), effective substrate wetting, and robust storage stability (typical viscosity <500 mPa·s at 46±1% solids content).In practical applications, its tailored polymer design ensures strong adhesion on various non-porous plastic films, including polyester (PET) and polypropylene (BOPP). The resulting coating provides a durable, protective layer with high resistance to cracking and excellent alcohol tolerance—a critical property for stable ink and varnish performance in high-speed printing processes. The designed rheology and compatibility of this Waterborne Acrylic Emulsion facilitate efficient processing on standard flexographic and gravure equipment, enabling the production of brilliant, flexible, and high-gloss finishes that meet modern performance and sustainability standards.

Key Features
✧ Excellent Flexibility & Film Formation – This Waterborne Acrylic Emulsion is designed with a tailored copolymer structure that ensures superior film flexibility and integrity. It forms a continuous, durable film at a low minimum film-forming temperature (MFFT ~7°C), providing crack resistance and elongation required for film printing and folding applications.
✧ High Gloss & Outstanding Transparency – The emulsion delivers a high-gloss, optically clear finish that enhances print vibrancy and visual appeal. Its excellent transparency ensures true color reproduction without yellowing or haze, making it ideal for premium overprint varnishes and ink formulations.
✧ Superior Substrate Wetting & Adhesion – This Waterborne Acrylic Emulsion exhibits excellent wetting characteristics on non-porous plastic films, ensuring smooth application and strong adhesion. It provides a reliable anchor layer for inks and coatings on various treated polyolefin and polyester substrates.
✧ High Alcohol Tolerance – Formulated with robust stability, the emulsion maintains performance integrity in alcohol-containing systems, offering formulation flexibility and preventing viscosity drift or coagulation in challenging printing environments.
✧ Eco-Compliant Waterborne Platform – As a solvent-free aqueous system, this Waterborne Acrylic Emulsion contains negligible VOCs, is non-flammable, and aligns with global environmental and safety regulations for packaging and graphic arts applications.
✧ Excellent Printability & Surface Protection – The film provides a receptive surface for printing and lamination, while offering resistance to scratching, blocking, and abrasion. It enhances the durability and aesthetic quality of flexible packaging and labels.
✧ Broad Formulation Compatibility – This emulsion demonstrates good compatibility with common additives, pigments, and resins, allowing formulators to adjust rheology, drying speed, and end-use properties for specific ink and OPV requirements.
