Orgasol® in Inks &OPVs: Surface Properties Improvement

Ink manufacturers have noticed growing sales in the packaging inkjet market, for which high surface properties are essential. Using the right additive in overprint varnishes (OPV) and inks is critical.

 

Orgasol®, used at low level, is the best additive to achieve a combination of different ink and OPV properties:

 

• Gloss level control
• Slip & lubricity
• Scratch and  rub  resistance
• Texture

 

With an emphasis on gloss level control and lubricity improvement.

 

Adding Orgasol® results in an anti-blocking effect and a decrease in the coefficient of friction.

 

The benefits of using Orgasol® in inks are also well known to the magazine and films markets.

 

Orgasol® is easily dispersed in acrylics, especially those used by ink manufacturers. Orgasol® can be used in solvent based as well as water based or 100% solid UV curable formulations.

 

Recommended grades:  2001 UD NAT1 and 2001 UD NAT2 (for food contact applications)
