Gelatin (Protein Binder for Screen Printing Inks)
CAS Number: 9000-70-8
Food-grade and technical gelatin used as a natural protein binder in specialty screen-printing inks for textiles, transfer printing, and stencil emulsions. Gelatin's unique film-forming, adhesion, and film-porosity characteristics make it invaluable in transfer paper inks and photostencil emulsions where controlled dissolution or mechanical release is required.
