Calcium Drier

CAS: 3712-53-6

A calcium octoate auxiliary drier that promotes through-drying and prevents wrinkling in oil-based ink and varnish films by counteracting the rapid surface-drying effect of primary driers. Calcium drier functions as an activator and promoter rather than a direct oxidation catalyst, improving the overall efficiency of cobalt and manganese driers. Its use enables reduced primary drier levels, lowering formulation costs and environmental footprint.

ink additives

Carnauba Wax

CAS: 8015-86-9

A natural vegetable wax obtained from the leaves of the Copernicia prunifera palm, known as the hardest natural wax commercially available. Carnauba wax is widely used in printing inks, varnishes, and polishes for its exceptional gloss enhancement, high melting point, and biodegradable profile. Its compatibility with a broad range of resins and solvents makes it a versatile additive for premium ink formulations requiring both performance and sustainability credentials.

ink additives

Cobalt Drier

CAS: 13586-84-0

A cobalt octoate-based primary metal drier that catalyzes the oxidative cross-linking of unsaturated oils and alkyd resins in oil-based printing inks and varnishes. Cobalt drier acts predominantly at the surface, delivering fast skin formation and tack-free times essential for high-speed sheet-fed offset presses. It is typically used in combination with auxiliary driers such as calcium or zirconium to balance surface and through-cure.

ink additives

Fischer-Tropsch Wax

CAS: 8002-74-2

A synthetic paraffinic wax produced by the Fischer-Tropsch process from synthesis gas, yielding a high-purity, low-branching hydrocarbon with a narrow melting range and very low oil content. Compared to petroleum slack waxes, Fischer-Tropsch wax provides superior hardness, gloss, and consistency, making it a preferred choice for high-quality printing inks, hot-melt coatings, and wax blends. Its excellent compatibility with polyolefins and resins enables versatile formulation.

ink additives

Flexo Ink Photoinitiator

CAS: 7473-98-5

Flexo Ink Photoinitiator for printing ink formulation, enhancing adhesion, rub resistance, gloss, and drying performance across various ink systems.

ink additives

HDDA Reactive Diluent

CAS: 13048-33-4

HDDA Reactive Diluent for printing ink formulation, enhancing adhesion, rub resistance, gloss, and drying performance across various ink systems.

ink additives

Ink Adhesion Promoter

CAS: 13822-56-5

A titanate-based coupling agent that acts as a molecular bridge between ink resins and difficult-to-bond substrates such as polyolefins, aluminum foil, and metalized films. It improves wet and dry adhesion, reduces delamination risk, and enhances chemical resistance of the printed film. Particularly effective for solvent-free UV-curable and waterborne ink systems applied to non-porous substrates.

ink additives

Ink Defoamer

CAS: 8042-47-5

A mineral-oil-based defoamer specifically formulated to suppress and destroy foam and micro-foam in water-based and solvent-based ink systems. Its unique hydrophobic silica particle blend rapidly destabilizes foam lamellae, ensuring smooth ink transfer and defect-free print surfaces. Low effective dosage minimizes impact on gloss and adhesion.

ink additives

Ink Dispersant

CAS: 68002-97-1

A high-performance polymeric dispersant engineered for pigment stabilization in solvent-based and UV-curable ink systems. It adsorbs strongly onto pigment surfaces to provide steric and electrosteric repulsion, preventing flocculation and sedimentation. The result is superior color strength, transparency, and gloss in finished ink formulations.

ink additives

Ink Drying Agent

A multi-metal drier blend designed to accelerate the oxidative polymerization of alkyd and linseed-oil-based printing inks. By providing a synergistic combination of primary (cobalt, manganese) and auxiliary (calcium, zirconium) driers, it delivers rapid surface and through-drying while minimizing over-oxidation and yellowing. Ideal for sheet-fed offset and letterpress applications.

ink additives

Ink Leveling Agent

CAS: 67674-67-3

A polyether-modified polydimethylsiloxane leveling agent that reduces surface tension gradients in drying ink films to eliminate orange peel, pinholes, and brush marks. It migrates efficiently to the ink-air interface to provide uniform surface tension across the film, resulting in excellent leveling and flow. The controlled surface activity minimizes foam and does not adversely affect intercoat adhesion.

ink additives

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.
