Product types
Adhesion promoters improve the bond between the ink and the substrate to ensure excellent adhesion, durability and resistance to peeling or flaking, resulting in long-lasting and reliable prints.
Solus™ improves adhesion, viscosity control, pigment dispersion and film formation, leading to high-quality prints with enhanced performance.
Coalescents promote film formation, enhance drying, improve flow and leveling, and reduce VOC content, making them valuable for the development of environmentally friendly inks with superior performance.
