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.
