ESTREX – S is a EU REACH compliant, FDAapproved ,THEIC modified Polyesterimide resin .The presence of imide group and THEIC in the molecule makes it resistant to unfriendly environments like chemicals and heat. The polymer also has a strong backbone of polyesterin it`s structure. The polyester backbone supports adhesion to various substrates when a coating is formulated from this polymer.Another advantage is that it doesnot require prohibited solvents like NMP for dissolution.The resin is hydroxyl functional and has the property of self -cross linking .Coatings for metals like Aluminum with superior properties can be formulated from this resin.It is supplied in the form of lumps.
ESTEREX-S is used for formulating coatings which are used on metals (for example, Aluminum) for external and internal surface for monoblocs, aerosolsand tubes.ESTEX –S can cure with Phenolic resins and amino resins. Coatings with excellent oxygen barrier properties can be formulated from this resin.Several of various applications are Internal and external lacquers for Aluminum cans and steel Beer and beverage cans. Coatings for Aluminum aerosols and Aluminum bottles and tubes. Internal liner coating of Aluminum caps.
For dissolving ESTREX –S , A solvent system consisting of Benzyl alcohol and aromatic hydrocarbons is used.
