MOWITAL® polyvinyl butyral for highly specialized applications ...
==================================================================

   Not only for prepregs and composites
------------------------------------

Polyvinyl butyrals meet the requirements for an enormous number of specialized applications. MOWITAL® is - for instance - is an essential component of prepregs and composite materials, adding flexibility to the thermosetting matrix resin, e.g. for the production of aerospace interior.

Also for improved flexibility and best adhesion
-----------------------------------------------

The use of MOWITAL® in structural adhesives enables thermo-plasticity, improved flexibility and good adhesion to various substrates. Their lasting binding power makes them suitable as a basis for stoving enamels.

Allowing superior flow and pigment wetting
------------------------------------------

MOWITAL® provides excellent surface adhesion. As a component of corrosion-protection primers MOWITAL® forms a matrix with the rust protection pigment and supports, among other things by forming a compact closed (PVB) film. The superior flow and pigment wetting properties of MOWITAL® make this product class highly suitable for the manufacture of predispersed pigment preparations and [printing inks](https://www.mowital.com/applications/printing-inks/ "MOWITAL® polyvinyl butyral based printing inks add brilliant gloss to YOUR products") for e.g. food packagings.

Meeting your safety demands
---------------------------

Furthermore, MOWITAL® permits the special build-up of retroreflective coatings in road traffic signs and markings – and thus increases road traffic safety.
