Product Description
OXY 6338 is a medium molecular weight vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer dispersion resin. It is designed for processing at low fusion temperatures. OXY 6338 has found wide acceptance in such applications as coatings for polyolefins and other heat sensitive fabrics, vinyl foams, dip coatings, spray coatings, rotational castings, slush molding, and specialty applications such as vinyl printing inks.
OXY 6338 combines extremely low Brookfield paste viscosities with fast gelation-fusion characteristics. The low viscosity allows usage of higher concentrations of extender materials, i.e., blending resins and fillers.
