CAP is mainly used as a film former in printing inks, clear overprint varnishes, and nail lacquer
topcoats. CAP has good solubility in many ink and coating solvents, and is compatible with
many other resins used in these products. It has excellent antiblocking properties, and its
grease resistance is superior to that of many other film-formers. In inks and coatings, it often
reduces surface defects such as pinholes and craters, and typically improves wetting, adhesion,
block resistance and solvent release enabling faster print and coat speeds.
