API-188G
Advanced Polymer
API-188G is a nonionic emulsion of high-melt polyethylene resin developed for coatings and textile finishing. Compatible with a wide range of resin systems and catalysts, it enhances scuff, scratch, and mar resistance at low loading levels. Applied to fabrics via pad bath, it imparts abrasion resistance, slip, and lubricity, making API-188G a versatile additive for water-based formulations used in coatings, textiles, and fabric protection.
- High abrasion resistance
- Improves durability and performance
