Alginate is a polysaccharide found in all brown seaweeds (kelp). Alginate exists in the cell walls of kelp. Kelp is harvested and processed to extract the alginate in the form of alginic acid. The alginic acid is neutralized with a sodium hydroxide to produce sodium alginate. Alginate is used as a thickener, film former and binder in many industries including paper coating, textiles printing, welding rod, dental mold casting and impression, food and pharmaceutical.

Polyvinyl alcohol is a synthetic resin manufactured by the hydrolysis of polyvinyl acetate. The cold water and hot water solubility, binding strength and viscosity of solutions made from the resin depends on the degree of hydrolysis and molecular weight. Polyvinyl alcohol is used as an adhesive/binder in the manufacture of safety glass, textile sizes, paper sizes and coatings, ceramics, foundry and paper cores, nonwoven fabrics and high surface area pigments. Polyvinyl alcohol can be cast into films for use in decorative cake flakes, packages or pouches for detergents, pesticides and vitamins, artificial skin, and dental impressions. It has excellent oil, grease and solvent resistance properties and can be used in protective/barrier coatings. Polyvinyl alcohol can be crosslinked to form gels.

Ethylene acrylic acid is a copolymer synthesized through the polymerization of ethylene and acrylic acid monomers. The combination of these two monomers forms a unique polymer with hydrophilic and hydrophobic functionalities. EAA can be made into aqueous dispersions or used in coatings where this unique dual functionality is of benefit. The properties of EAA can be altered by varying the amount of ethylene and acrylic acid present in the copolymer. Increasing the amount of acrylic acid in the copolymer results in a more amorphous, flexible polymer which improves adhesion to polar surfaces, hot tack adhesion and heat sealability at low temperatures. EAA is used in coatings for high speed digital print applications to improve liquid toner adhesion, inkjet coatings to improve image quality, tie layer to bond two dissimilar materials such as metal foil to plastic or paper (yogurt lids), as an additive in coatings to improve heat seal ability. EAA dispersions form a clear FDA-compliant film which is resistant to solvents, grease and water when crosslinked. Crosslinked EAA coatings can be applied with conventional coating and press equipment as a cost-effective alternative to extrusion coatings.
