Our Additive Products
Additives | Description | Series | Add % | Effects | Consequences |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
GRA-5012 | Gloss Reduction Additive | All Standard Series | 10%- 20% | Liquid additive that reduces the ink gloss to a satin finish. | Moniter cure and adhesion |
972 | Thickening Agent | All Series | 2% | Will Increase Viscosity | N/A |
070 | Thinning Agent | 02, 04, 09, 80, 88, CDG, FLT, MFLT, IM, JZB, LC, MSK, PCI, PPC, PPC7, PST, and RSP | 1%- 10% | Aids in the transfer of ink through the screen by reducing ink viscosity. | May impair surface durabilty (scratch) as the ink be softer. May afffect weatherability. Moniter Cure |
UVO-TH | Universal Thinner
| DC, DM, GN, NC, RL, UT, UVB, UV9, VL, and XL6 | 1%- 10% | Aids in the transfer of ink through the screen by reducing ink viscosity. | May impair surface durabilty (scratch) as the ink be softer. May afffect weatherability. Moniter Cure |
FLX-076 | Flexibilizing Agent
| 02, 04, 80, VL, UV9, and XL6 | 1%- 15% | Increases Flexibilty for embossing, folding or applications that require ink elongation. | Decrease in cure, weatherability, surface hardness and viscosity |
ADC7-10000 | High Viscosity
Adhesion/Cure Promoter | All Series not used with adhesives | 5%- 10%
Larger % can be used but moniter color | Increases Cure and adhesion. The ADC-10000 will also aid with the apperance of static (surface tension polarity) and ink reticulation. These are our most powerful additives. | IMMEDIATE Reaction with the ink. Do use with any inks that require adhesive compatibility. |
ADC7-4000 | Medium Viscosity
Adhesion/Cure Promoter | All Series not used with adhesives
| 5%- 10%
Larger % can be used but moniter color | Increases Cure and adhesion. The ADC-4000 will also aid with the apperance of static (surface tension polarity) and ink reticulation. These are our most powerful additives. | IMMEDIATE Reaction with the ink. Do use with any inks that require adhesive compatibility. |
ADC7-250 | Low Viscosity
Adhesion/Cure Promoter | All Series not used with adhesives | 5% - 10%
Larger % can be used but moniter color | Increases Cure and adhesion. The ADC-250 will also aid with the apperance of static (surface tension polarity) and ink reticulation. These are our most powerful additives. | IMMEDIATE Reaction with the ink. Do use with any inks that require adhesive compatibility. |
CUR-800 | Cure/Adhesion Promoter
| All Series except PPC-7 & DC GN Series Blacks
Do not use on Polycarbonate | .5% - 1% | Increases cure and adhesion, may restore Intercoat on previos over cured prints. The inks will cross link more densely. Increases water resistance. | Amine- NOT FOR POLYCARBONATE
Will Increase viscosity. Can embrittle the ink. Pot life is 4 hours.
Can Cause the black pigmented inks in the DC & GN Series to become grey. |
CUR-073 | Cure Promoter | All Series | 1%-3% | Increases depth of cure and cure rate. Increases surface hardness and resistance to blocking | Reduces Intercoat adhesion (monitor) and slighty increases gloss, non-yellowing. |
DK-072 | Glass Adhesion Promoter
| All Series | Up to 1.5% | Improves gloss, adhesion, faster curing, chemical resistance, Intercoat | Lower gloss, Excessive use may reduce intercoat adhesion. Monitor throughout print run |
LED#4 | Adhesion, LED Cure & Thinner | All Series | Up to 10% | Increases LED cure | Reduce Viscosity, Excessive use may reduce intercoat adhesion. Monitor throughout print run. |
