Polyvinyl Acetal Resin S-LEC B / S-LEC K

Polyvinyl acetal resin (PVB) with excellent physical properties : Toughness, Adhesiveness and Dispersibility

ポリビニルアセタール樹脂 エスレック B / エスレック K
● Polyvinyl Acetal Resin is composed of three units: acetal group, acetyl group and hydroxyl group.
● In addition to general polyvinyl butyral resin, various resins with different structure
and ratio of the acetal group is available.
● By adjusting the ratio of each group and degree of polymerization, it is possible to control
the material properties for various applications.
● Can be used in a wide range of applications such as binders, dispersants and adhesives.

Features

Polyvinyl acetal resin (PVB) exhibits various functions such as toughness, adhesiveness and dispersibility in a balanced manner, and contributes to satisfying the required quality for various applications.

Toughness

Toughness
PVB has moderate strength and resilience to receive external forces flexibly.
 

Adhesiveness

Adhesiveness
Since PVB has excellent flexibility and does not peel easily, it can be firmly adhered to metal, glass, ceramic, etc.

Dispersibility

Dispersibility
PVB adsorbs moderately to the powder and can be dispersed uniformly in the liquid to maintain the distance between the powders.
Other features are…

Pyrolytic Property

Pyrolytic Property High Temp. Oven Green sheet
When used in a binder, PVB can be degreased without residue in the sintering process.

Solubility/Compatibility

Solubility/Compatibility PVB powder
PVB is soluble /
compatible with many solvents and resins.
 

Transparency

Transparency Glass PVB
layer
Colorless, transparent resin that does not damage visibility or appearance.
  • ・Thickening property Thickening property
  • ・Moldability Moldability
  • ・Insulation Insulation

etc …

Applications

PVB is used in a wide range of applications, including binders for MLCC and other ceramics, binders for conductive pastes, dispersants for pigments and carbon materials, modifiers for epoxy and phenolic resins, inkjet receptive layers, and adhesives and so on.

Chemical Structure

The chemical and physical properties of S-LEC can be controlled by adjusting the molecular weight and the ratio of the three units composing PVB: acetal group, acetyl group and hydroxyl group. This allows us to propose suitable grades with properties that meet your needs.

Chemical structure of S-LEC
  • ※R= C3H8 : Polyvinyl Butyral
  •  R= CH3 : Polyvinyl Acetacetal

The above two are collectively called “polyvinyl acetal resin”.
