Ink Wax Compound
A pre-dispersed wax compound combining polyethylene and PTFE micronized waxes in a carrier vehicle, tailored for direct incorporation into printing inks and overprint varnishes. It imparts outstanding rub resistance, slip, and anti-blocking properties to printed substrates without compromising ink gloss or adhesion. The compound is optimized for ease of dispersion and consistent batch-to-batch performance.
