Overview

Printing Ink solvent providing fast evaporation, improved ink flow, excellent printing definition and viscosity adjustment.

Product description

Fast-evaporating, solvent-based thinner for flexographic printing inks.

Printing Ink Solvent is based on ethyl acetate at a proprietory composition developed for viscosity adjustment and dilution of compatible solvent-based flexographic printing inks.

The formulation provides rapid solvent evaporation, good solvency, and improved ink flow during printing. It can help maintain consistent ink transfer, print definition, and drying performance when used at an appropriate dosage.

The product is intended for use in industrial flexographic printing operations, subject to compatibility with the ink resin system, substrate, and printing conditions.

Applications

Dosage

Steps to follow to get efficient results while using Printing Ink Solvent Flexo Reducer:
  1. Check compatibility: Confirm that the thinner is suitable for the ink resin system and substrate. Test a small sample before production use.
  2. Measure initial viscosity: Determine the ink viscosity using the appropriate viscometer or flow cup specified by the ink manufacturer.
  3. Add gradually: Introduce Printing Ink Solvent in small increments while continuously stirring the ink.
  4. Adjust viscosity: Continue adding thinner until the required printing viscosity is achieved.
  5. Verify print performance: Check drying time, ink transfer, adhesion, print definition, and resistance under actual operating conditions.

Recommendation from Industry experts: Use the ink manufacturer's recommended dosage as the starting point. No universal dilution ratio can be specified without knowing the ink formulation and printing conditions.

Excessive thinning may reduce color strength, adhesion, and print performance.
