AquaFLON® 50-RC is recommended for a wide variety of specialty applications in inks and coatings such as overprint varnishes for can coatings and water-based inkjet formulations. Due to its extremely small particle size, AquaFLON® 50-RC is most suitable for thin film applications at a suggested recommended level of 1-5% solids to the total formula weight.
