POLYAMIDE RESINS


RI Chem manufactures two kinds of polyamide resins: polyamides which are used as epoxy hardeners and polyamides used for printing inks .
EPOXY HARDENERS

 Polyamides used as epoxy hardeners are room temperature curing resins.  They will produce tough, resilient, flexible polymers with good moisture resistance when cross-linked with epoxy resins.  Curing can be accelerated with heat.

POLYAMIDES FOR PRINTING INKS

These resins are thermoplastic polyamide resins used for flexographic and gravure type inks formulated with high alcohol content.  It is very well suited for high speed printing of treated polyolefin films (polyethylene and polypropylene), as well as PVDC (polyvinylidene coated cellophane).  These inks are ideal for polyolefin  bread wraps and other pastry products.  Being thermoplastic, they should not be used in heat sealed areas.
