Plextol B 500 – Acrylic Dispersion

The Plextol B 500 are aqueous dispersion of pure thermoplastic acrylic resin with medium viscosity, designed for conservation applications requiring long-term durability, chemical stability and reliable adhesive behaviour.

It is characterised by excellent resistance to atmospheric agents and high chemical resistance, qualities that make it particularly suitable for use as adhesive but also for canvas linings in the conservation of paintings.
