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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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

Adhesion, LED Cure & Thinner

All Series

Up to 10%

Increases LED cure 

Reduce Viscosity, Excessive use may reduce intercoat adhesion. Monitor throughout print run. 

Cure & Adhesion Promoter

All Series

Up to 10%

Increases Cure & Adhesion Promoter 

Pot life is 6-8 hours depending on the perecentage used. 

Cure Adhesion & Matting

88 Series

Up to 10%

Increases cure adhesion & matting 

May increase color strength and opacity

Water Resistant Adhesion Promoter

All Series 

Up to 3%

Increases adhesion to various substrates. Increases water resistance. Chemical reaction requires a 24-hour post-cure to achieve adhesion properties.

Pot life is 6-8 hours depending on percentage used.

Metal Adhesion Modifier

80 Series 

.5% - 2%

Increases adhesion to various metal materials. Useful when die-cutting to a bleed edge. 

MET-079 will increase the ink viscosity and ink film deposit. It will descrease the cure rate, pot life, and intercoat adhesion. Must ship as Hazardous Material. Addiotional freight charges will apply and are the responsibilty of the client.

Plasticized Vinyl Adhesion Promoter

02, 04, 80, VL, UV9, and XL6  Do not use on Polycarbonate

2%-5% Up to 7% if only printing one color

Increases substrate compatibility. Improves wetting characteristics. May eliminate the need to wipe substrates. reduces bubbles and increases adhesion and cure rate.

Polycarbonate Adhesion Promoter

02, 04, MSK, and 80

1% - 5%

The 078 will enhance adhesion and cure rates. It is most useful for accelerating production speeds, particularly when processing heat sensitive materials that are susceptible to distortion.
