Additives for Printing Inks
Flexo, gravure and offset inks where pigment efficiency, rheology on press and dot definition are inseparable.
Colour development that holds up under press-room reality.
What makes this sector difficult
Maximum colour strength per unit of pigment
Foam in circulation and pumping systems
Stable viscosity through a long press run
Transfer and dot sharpness at production speed
Additive families for Printing Inks
Dispersing Additives
Wetting and dispersing agents for efficient pigment wetting, full colour development, faster grinding and long-term resistance to re-agglomeration in waterborne, solventborne and UV systems.
Defoamers
Mineral oil, polysiloxane and polymer defoamers that control process foam, persistent microfoam and film surface defects across production, let-down and application stages.
Leveling Agents
Flow and leveling additives that manage surface tension gradients so the film levels out evenly, with controlled slip, mar resistance and a uniform appearance.
