Properties High hardness and softening point due to high density and crystallinity. Low density and crystallinity that are attributable to low hardness and softening point. Good affinity with polar polymers, Inorganic compound, metals, etc. Emulsifiable (High Acid-value grades).
Reactive with alcohols, amines, isocyanates, oligomer with epoxy group, etc.(Acid-modified grades)

Note: HP10A and those ending with “F” (200PF, 400PF, 800PF, 405MPF) are smaller particle size grades.
