Paraloid™ B-72, an ethyl methacrylate polymer, is an excellent general purpose acrylic resin. It can be applied in either clear or pigmented coatings by a variety of application methods. Paraloid™ B-72 has a very low reactivity with sensitive phosphorescent and luminescent pigments. The durability and non-yellowing characteristics also make it valuable for use with these pigments.

Paraloid™ B-72 is compatible with other film forming materials such as vinyls, cellulosics, chlorinated rubbers, and silicones and can be used in combination with them to produce coatings with a wide variety of characteristics.

Paraloid™ B-72 is very resistant against water, alkalis, acids, oils and chemical fumes. The coverings are very elastic and adhere on many different surfaces, e.g. also on light metals.

Paraloid™ B-72 is unique in possessing a high tolerance for ethanol. The property allows its use in applications in which strong solvents cannot be tolerated. The alcohol dispersions may be cloudy or milky; however, clear, coherent films are formed.

Paraloid® B 72 is available in a 500g size. It can be special ordered in a 100g, 1kg or 10kg size - Please contact us for pricing.
