Decovery® SP-6400 XP
Decovery® SP-6400 XP is a low-NaOH, alkali-soluble, acrylic copolymer dispersion, with high clarity and flexibility. It has been created for adhesive applications such as removable paper labels for bottles. It is also suitable for use as a domestic adhesive.
It has a lower carbon footprint than oil-based alternatives and is very flexible – it can be used to adhere to a wide range of substrates.
In profile
35% bio-based resin for label adhesives that achieves a 20°C reduction in wash-off temperature, uses less NaOH and less energy.

How Decovery® packaging resins help our world
Covestro's Decovery® portfolio is well suited for the creation of high quality coating resins that meet the environmental demands of the packaging markets: they contain zero-to-low volatile organic compounds (VOCs), yet can match, or exceed, the performance of starch-based alternatives.
All our Decovery® resins are partially made from plant-based resources, such as bark and beans, which are sustainably sourced and do not compete with the food chain.
