Gravure Printing

Filtrez™ 526 is a high-viscosity binder used in ink and toner applications, specifically for flexography and gravure inks. It functions as a binder, providing structure and stability to the ink formulations.

DISPERBYK® 192 is a VOC- and solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for aqueous coating systems, printing inks, and liquid color masterbatches for thermoplastics. It is also used to manufacture pastes for unsaturated polyester resin systems or gel coats. It is particularly suitable for producing stable effect pigment dispersions.

DISPERBYK® 2117 is a solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for solvent-borne and solvent-free pigment concentrates and printing inks with medium-polarity to polar systems. Its main use is to disperse carbon blacks and phthalocyanine pigments.

DISPERBYK® 2118 is a solvent-free wetting and dispersing additive for solventborne and solvent-free pigment concentrates, as well as printing inks. It is particularly effective for dispersing carbon blacks and phthalocyanine pigments, making it ideal for flexography, gravure, and solventborne inks. This additive reduces viscosity and functions as both a wetting agent and dispersant, enhancing dispersion and stability in ink formulations. DISPERBYK® 2118 is suitable for high-solids coatings and a variety of ink applications, offering improved performance in both solventborne and solvent-free systems.

BYK-094 is a VOC-free, silicone-containing defoamer designed for aqueous coating systems, printing inks, overprint varnishes, and adhesive systems. Known for its high compatibility, it offers excellent long-term efficiency and versatility. The defoamer is particularly effective in waterborne coatings, gravure inks, and flexography inks, and can also be used in waterborne adhesives. It is easy to incorporate into formulations and ensures efficient foam control while maintaining performance across a variety of applications. The VOC-free label further enhances its appeal in eco-conscious formulations.

Flex-Rez™ 1155AS is a solid triphenyl phosphite, primarily used as a binder and resin in printing and ink applications. It belongs to the chemical families of phosphate esters, phosphorous-based compounds, and organophosphates. This product complies with various regulations, including the Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 112, 40 CFR 302.4, and California Proposition 65. It is listed in several chemical inventories, including ECL (Korea), EINECS (EU), ENCS (Japan), IECSC (China), NDSL (Canada), PICCS (Philippines), and TSCA (USA).
