DURACET 300 DEV is relatively high molecular weight polyvinyl acetate emulsion formulation. This homopolymer will exhibit low viscosity build when formulated with plasticizers or solvents. This allows the formulator to exercise wide latitude in selecting the types and amounts of plasticizers or solvents to be used and still obtain a clean machining formulation.
FILM PROPERTIES Dry films of Duracet 300 are hard, with a glossy, translucent appearance. Plasticizer resistance is good. COMPOUNDING INFORMATION Duracet 300 may be thickened using high molecular weight polyvinyl alcohol solutions or conventional cellulosic thickeners. Solvent thickening is not particularly efficient, although solvents may be incorporated in order to enhance the specific adhesion by attacking a particular coating or film. Polar solvents, such as ketones, should be diluted prior to incorporation to prevent localized gel formation. Duracet 300 offers wide compatibility with a variety of conventional and proprietary plasticizers and will generally accept high plasticizer loadings without excessive loss of film tensile strength. Duracet 300 conforms compositionally with FDA Regulation 175.105, 176.170 and 176.180.
