Polyurethane Resins– Information can be found from our supplier – Printpur Polyurethane Resins
Ketonic Resin – The ketonic resin is a very efficient modifier for optimizing the mechanical and optical properties of inks and coatings. It helps improving film hardness, scratch resistance, adhesion and gloss. Pigments are stabilized and thus colour strength can be increased.
Polyamide Resin – Benefit from low-odour properties, superb pigment wetting characteristics and excellent adhesion to substrates. Additionally, the Polyamides exhibit excellent alcohol solubility, Nitrocellulose compatibility, superior gelling, gloss and water resistance.
Acrylic Beads – Soluble in alcohol. For printing inks, plastic coating, metal coating, marine paint, concrete and wall paints, heat seal, aerosol paint.
Vinyl Resins – A range of vinyl copolymer suitable for use in the manufacture of heat seal lacquers, inks, adhesive and paints. Also available a vinyl copolymer resin formulated specially for modifying PU Resin in the preparation of flexographic and gravure inks.
Polymerized Rosin – Is a pale, acidic which composed predominately of dimeric acids derived from rosin with lesser amounts of monomeric resin acids and neutral materials of rosin origin. Mainly used in ink, oil paint, rubber, adhesive, waterproof cloth and paper-making.
Erucamide Wax – Micro-sized, for use in gravure, flexographic and screen-printing inks and overprint varnishes. It acts as a good anti-blocking agent, excellent slip agent and lubricant. It is recommended for plastics (e.g. PVC, PE and PP) and rubber applications. Approved by EU: Regulation (EU) 10/2011.
Stearamide Wax – Acts as a slip & wetting agent, rub/ scratch resistance agent, anti-blocking and processing agent. It is suitable for solvent-based printing inks, gravure & digital printing inks and indirect food contact applications.
