Product Description
F-24A is a low molecular weight PVC homopolymer dispersion resin which has been developed primarily for use in chemically expanded compounds as well as other applications where rapid gelation and physical property development at low temperature are required. In expanded systems, the product exhibits a fine uniform cell structure in a variety of formulations and over a wide range of processing conditionals. F24A is further characterized as displaying good plastisol viscosity and viscosity stability.
