Jaylink Reactive Cellulose Acrylic Esters

Jaylink^® is a proprietary, high molecular weight, cellulosic polymer that is a free-flowing, white powder. They are exclusively manufactured by Bomar and are polymerizable cellulosic materials, which are an acrylamidomethyl substituted cellulose ester polymer. These materials are typically used as an additive in formulations at 2 – 10% by weight for most applications: automotive, aerospace, food contact packaging, medical, flexoprinting, Overprint Varnish (OPV), UV printing ink, rapid prototyping, and graphic arts. These functionalized cellulose acetates are well known in the ink and coating industry as a rheology modifier, and as an adhesion promoter, which once cured will chemically crosslink into the matrix which keeps the material from leaching out. Formulas that incorporate these materials will also have a rapid UV cure response rate and will have improved surface hardness without impacting clarity.
