Core Advantages

1. Ultra-low DBP absorption reduces resin consumption, supporting high solid & high carbon black loading ink formulations.

2. Low-structure feature provides mirror-level high gloss, smooth printing surface free of orange peel defects.

3. Mild viscosity increase rate ensures smooth roller transfer without plate clogging during long-hour printing.

4. Controllable dust volume, compatible with automatic continuous ink feeding production lines.

5. Full compatibility with heat-set & cold-set offset ink resins.

Main Application Fields

Core Applications: High-Gloss Offset Printing Ink, Liquid Gravure Packaging Ink
Compatible Applications: Low-Viscosity Decorative Solvent Coating, General Plastic Grey Tinting
Forbidden Scenarios: Food-contact products, High Weather Resistance Topcoat, Ultra-High Blackness Premium Ink

Handling Precautions

1. Mix with special ink dispersing resin to shorten grinding duration further.

2. Store away from light & moisture to prevent viscosity thickening during ink storage.

3. Standard ink dosage: 1.6% ~ 4.5%.

4. Pellet version requires no pre-mixing; powder version needs high-speed pre-dispersion.
