Abstract:
Provided are: a water-absorbing resin composition and a laminate using the resin composition. The resin composition is capable of giving a transparent anti-fog coating excellent in properties such as appearance, coatability, anti-fog properties, water resistance, and heat resistance. Specifically, a resin composition includes a specific (meth)acrylamide copolymer (A) in combination with at least one bifunctional or higher (meth)acrylate compound (B), in which the (meth)acrylamide copolymer (A) is copolymerized from a (meth)acrylamide monomer with another monomer. This resin composition provides an active-energy-ray-curable water-absorbing resin composition and a laminate using the resin composition, each having excellent anti-fog properties.
Abstract:
Plasticizer blends comprise a triblend of diethylene glycol dibenzoate, dipropylene glycol dibenzoate, and 1,2-propylene glycol dibenzoate, in specified ratios, useful in combination with a multitude of thermoplastic polymers, thermosetting polymers, and elastomeric polymers and numerous applications, including but not limited to plastisols, adhesives, sealants, caulks, architectural coatings, industrial coatings, OEM coatings, inks, overprint varnishes, polishes, and the like. The advantages rendered by the use of the triblend depend on the type of polymer and application in which it is utilized and include among other advantages higher solvating power and lower processing time, low VOC's, reduced plasticizer freeze point, improved gelation and fusion characteristics, higher tensile strength, superior stain and extraction resistance, and improved rheology over traditional diblends of diethylene glycol dibenzoate and dipropylene glycol dibenzoate.
