  • Butvar: the right resin solutions
    May 30, 2025
    Butvar brand resins generally are soluble in alcohols, glycol ethers, and certain mixtures of polar and nonpolar solvents. In general, Butvar B-98 (PVB Resin B-05SY) resin will show the same general compatibility characteristics as Butvar B-90 (PVB Resin B-02HX) and, therefore, should prove advantageous where physical and chemical properties of B-90 are desired but lower solution viscosities are necessary. The same is true for Butvar B-79 in relation to Butvar B-76.     The lower hydroxyl content of Butvar B-76 and Butvar B-79 permits solubility in a wider variety of organic solvents as compared to the other grades of Butvar. One notable exception, however, is the insolubility of Butvar B-76 and Butvar B-79 in methanol. All other types of Butvar contain sufficient hydroxyl groups to allow for solubility in alcohol and in hydroxyl-containing solvents. The presence of both butyral and hydroxyl groups permits solution in mixtures of alcohol and aromatics. Viscosities of Butvar resin solutions containing mixed solvents depend on the ratio of alcohol to aromatic. Viscosity curves for Butvar B-76, Butvar B-90, and Butvar B-98 in Graph 2 show minimum points in the general vicinity of 50% alcohol: 50% aromatic.     A common solvent for all of the Butvar resins is a combination of 60 parts toluene and 40 parts ethanol (95%) by weight. For compositions of Butvar, methyl alcohol will tend to give the lowest viscosity and, therefore, will permit the use of higher solids when used as a component of a solvent blend. When much more than 10% to 15% alcohol is used in a formulation for spray application, blushing may result. They are useful as starting points in the development of solvent blends for the other types.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com

  • Butvar Polyvinyl Butyral Resin Product Types
    May 26, 2025
    The different kinds of Butvar resins have their properties laid out in Tables 1 to 5. These resins come in various molecular weights and viscosities. Butvar 76 and Butvar 79 resins have less hydroxyl content compared to other Butvar options, which gives them better solubility.   Generally, when you swap butyral groups for acetate groups, you get a polymer that repels water better and can handle heat more without deforming. This change also boosts the polymer's strength and how well it sticks to different surfaces. The strong sticking power of polyvinyl butyral resins comes from their terpolymer structure. Since each molecule has a choice of three different functional groups on its surface, the likelihood of adhesion to a wide range of substrates is significantly increased.   Although polyvinyl butyral resins (PVB) are generally thermoplastic and soluble in a number of solvents, they can be crosslinked by heat and small amounts of mineral acid.Crosslinking often happens through transacetalization, but it can also be due to more complicated processes, like reactions between acetate or hydroxyl groups on nearby chains.   In practice, crosslinking of polyvinyl butyrals is achieved by reaction with various thermosetting resins such as phenolic, epoxy, urea, dicyanate, and melamine resins. The availability of functional hydroxyl groups in Butvar resins for this type of condensation is an important factor in many applications. Including even a small amount of Butvar resin in thermosetting compositions will significantly improve the strength, flexibility, and adhesion of the cured coating.     Polyvinyl butyral films are known for their great resistance to various substances like aliphatic hydrocarbons and different kinds of oils, except for castor and gypsum oils. They tolerate strong bases, but are sensitive to strong acids. However, when used as components of cured coatings, their resistance to acids, solvents and other chemicals is greatly increased. Butyral withstands temperatures up to 200°F for long periods with little color change.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com

  • Properties and Applications of Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) Resin
    Apr 10, 2025
    Polyvinyl butyral resin (PVB) is a white powder made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVAL) and butyraldehyde.  Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) is a white powder made from polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and butyraldehyde. PVB is primarily used in the production of interlayer films for laminated glass , as well as in coatings  and adhesives.   Currently, global PVB resin production is concentrated in the United States, Western Europe, and Japan, with the U.S. being the largest producer and consumer. China started its PVB industry in the 1950s, but it didn't pick up pace until the breakthroughs in ceramic decals and vacuum aluminum plating during the Seventh Five-Year Plan from 1986 to 1990, which really kicked off growth in the sector. The primary use of PVB resin is as a high-viscosity raw material for PVB films, which serve as interlayers in safety glass. Additionally, it is widely used in coatings, adhesives, ceramic decals, and aluminum foil paper.   PVB films are essential for making safety and bulletproof glass.  These films are placed between regular glass to make safety glass. This type of glass is really strong, flexible, lets light in well, and can handle different weather. It helps stop glass from breaking when it's hit hard, making it safer. PVB-laminated safety glass is clear and resistant to water and aging, performing well even in very low temperatures.  It can also serve as a substitute for acrylic.   PVB has certain chemical groups that give it strong adhesive properties, making it great for various adhesives used in glass, metal, enamel, and labels.   More people are getting filter-tipped cigarettes as their living standards improve. To promote better health, officials are now making it a rule that all premium cigarettes must have filters. This means there's a big jump in the use of tipping paper and, as a result, more PVB adhesive is being used too.   PVB can be mixed with other resins to improve bonding, creating adhesives for a range of materials including wood, ceramics, metals, plastics, and leather.   Due to its high bond strength, cold resistance, oil resistance, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, PVB (PVB Resin B-03HX & Butvar B-79) is widely used in wood coatings, metal coatings, metal primers, metal inks, foil coatings, vacuum metallization coatings, concrete coatings, waterproof coatings, leather coatings, and glossy surface protective coatings.   Website: www.elephchem.com Whatsapp: (+)86 13851435272 E-mail: admin@elephchem.com
