POLYTONE™ ABR Series Acrylic Bead Resins are polymers or copolymers of acrylic monomers for use
in solvent applied lacquers, inks, speciality coatings & adhesives. These resins are available in fine
granules and are thermoplastic in nature; they are thermally stable upto 180-235°C.
Coatings of these resins give water white transparent films having gloss and hardness. Polytone
Acrylic Bead Resins provide excellent abrasion resistance & weatherability with low pigment
reactivity. Having compatibility with a variety of plasticizers and file formers these resins provide
excellent resistance to alkalies dilute acids, alcohols as also corrosive and oxidizing atmospheres.
Polytone Acrylic Bead Resins show outstanding resistence to ultraviolet degradation and resistance
to discolouration on heating.

COMPATIBILITY

The compatibility of POLYTONE™ Acrylic resins with a variety of plasticizers and reins help in the formulation
of adhesives, lacquers, inks etc.

Alkyd Resins : In general alkyds as a class have poor compatibility with acrylic. Acrylic modified alkyds show
better compatibility. Copolymers resins e.g ABR 1033 and 1035 can be combined with a suitable alkyd for
gloss and improved pigment wetting.

Vinyl Chloride Resins : Have excellent compatibility with POLYTONE™ Acrylic resins. Vinyl chloride
homopolymers also compatible. By blending these resins excellent abrasion resistance, gloss retention and
slip are achieved.

Chlorinated Rubber : is compatible with most grades of POLYTONE™ Acrylic resins. Aromatic rich solvents
should be first used for optimum compatibility.

 POLYTONE™ ABR Series

Cellulosics : Nitrocellulose and cellulose actate bytyrate are compatible with Polytone Resins. Inclusion of
cellulosics increases the block resistance and hardness of soft Polytone resins like 1034, 1035, 1044. On the
other hand softer acrylics can be helpful for improving the flexibility and durability of the cellulosics.
Other Resins such as epoxy, ketone, rosin esters, amino, cumarone-indone are compatible with Polytone
resins. ABR 1034, 1035 can be used as modifiers and extenders for silicone resins.

Plasticizers : POLYTONE™ acrylic resins are compaltible with a number of plasticizers. Pthalate esters in
general are useful plasticizers for Polytone Resins.

Grade MOL. WT. Principal Characteristics & Uses

ABR 1011 V. High Used in Barrier Coating on vinyl fabrics for difference for dielectric heat
sealibility, high abrasion resistance, block resistance and slip. Since this
resin provides maximum toughness and abrasion resistance, it is
suggested as scuff resistance top coat for luggage and similar items.
ABR 1012 Medium General purpose grade for lacqueres such as barrier top coating of vinyl
fabrics , clear lacquer for steel, ABS , Polysterene etc. Suitable for
gravure inks. Very high tensile strength and hardness.
ABR 1013 Meduim This resin is a softer version of ABR 1012 having the same uses.
Excellent chip resistance.
ABR 1014 Low Lowest Moleculer Weight Grade. Used in lacquers and gravure inks
requiring low viscocity at high solids . High Tack Temperature. Good
Pigment Dispersion. Used in Base coat for Vacuum Metalizing of Plastic
Articles.
ABR 1033 Low Fast dissolving low viscosity Grade with quick solvent release
properties for use in industrial lacquers, flexo and gravure inks,
coatings for plastics-polyester, ABS, toners, aerosol sprays.
ABR 1034 Medium Softest and the most flexible grade having good pigment wetting
properties. Useful for clear. transluscent or pigmented metal lacquers
for aluminium, bronze, steel and bright metals like silver, copper, brass.
Also used in electrofax copy paper and seamless flooring.
ABR 1044 High Very soft flexible grade. Useful in adhesives for smooth plastic films
and aluminium. Used in silk screen inks. Can be used for plasticizing
and improving adhesion of harder resins and nitrocellulose.Improves
outdoor durability of vinyl chloride in pigmented lacquers.
