Joncryl® DPS 3772 is primarily used in primer applications. Notably, it offers features such as high jetness, good compatibility, and salt resistance. Its function encompasses acting as a binder and resin. Additionally, it comes with labeling claims of being VOC-free.

SPACTIVE® GA 1020 is a dispersion of high molecular weight polysiloxanes in polyalkylene glycol. This defoamer compound has the best price-performance ratio. Its preferred fields of application include: Printing inks: gravure printing inks and flexographic printing inks Overprint varnishes (OPV): high gloss or semi-gloss Let-down

SILCO® GA 2550 is a polymeric silicone-free substrate wetting additive. Due to its chemical structure, it is particularly recommended for water-based formulations. This product is particularly characterized as a highly effective wetting additive for printing inks and overprint varnishes and is compliant with all relevant FDA regulations and Nestlé guidance.

SILCO® GA 2550 is:

• APEO-free
• Biocide-free
• Suitable for food contact applications (eg Swiss Ordinance, BfR, FDA, Chinese GB)
• Suitable for aqueous systems
• Non-ionic
• Low foaming
• Silicone-free
• Free from volatile organic compounds (VOC)

SILCO® GA 1011 is a hydroxy-functional block copolymer in water. Due to its chemical structure, SILCO® GA 1011 is particularly recommended as a wetting and dispersing additive for organic pigments and carbon black. The preferred fields of application include: Printing inks Water-based systems

SILCO® GA 1069 is a block copolymer in water that can be used as a wetting and dispersing additive for aqueous systems, and as a standalone dispersing matrix for all types of pigments. The preferred fields of application include: Printing inks Water-based systems

SILCO® GA 1018 is a wetting and dispersing additive for resin-free and resin-containing formulations, used in combination with a second anionic compound. Due to its chemical structure, it is particularly recommended for all organic pigments. The preferred fields of application include: Printing inks Water-based systems

AFCONA 2027 is a moderate defoamer with minimal side effects. AFCONA 2027 prevents the formation of foam and blisters during manufacturing and application. It offers a combination of good defoaming and compatibility with most resin systems. It is recommended for medium-viscosity applications applied by spray and brush.

Synprint AC 7150 is a water-based, alkali-solubilized styrene-acrylic copolymer used as an alkali-soluble resin in inks and overprint varnishes to improve gloss and leveling. It can also be used in pigment dispersions to improve color development and pigment dispersion gloss.

Trapylen® 186 EAC is a chlorinated polypropylene dissolved in ethyl acetate. With a higher chlorine content compared to other Trapylen® grades, it exhibits good compatibility with other resins and polymers, excellent pigment wetting, and results in a high-gloss, chemically resistant film. The main advantage of Trapylen® 186 EAC is its outstanding adhesion to untreated polypropylene, PP/EPDM thermoplastic rubber, and, with limitations, polyethylene. However, its resistance against fatty oil and grease is limited.

Trapylen® 187 S is a chlorinated polypropylene characterized by a higher chlorine content compared to other Trapylen® grades. This feature results in good compatibility with other resins and polymers, coupled with excellent pigment wetting. The cured film exhibits high gloss and very good chemical and aging resistance. The primary advantage of Trapylen® 187 S lies in its outstanding adhesion to untreated polypropylene, PP/EPDM thermoplastic rubber, and, with limitations, polyethylene. However, its resistance against fatty oil and grease is limited and may be compensated for by using it with low-chlorinated Trapylen® grades.

Trapylen® 187 EAC is a chlorinated polypropylene dissolved in ethyl acetate. It possesses a slightly lower chlorine content compared to the similar Trapylen® 186 EAC but maintains good compatibility with other resins and polymers, along with excellent pigment wetting. The cured film exhibits high gloss and very good chemical and aging resistance. The primary advantage of Trapylen® 187 EAC lies in its outstanding adhesion to untreated polypropylene, PP/EPDM thermoplastic rubber, and, with limitations, polyethylene. However, its resistance against fatty oil and grease is limited and may be compensated for by using it with low-chlorinated Trapylen® grades.

Trapylen® 186 X is a medium-chlorinated polypropylene dissolved in xylene. Characterized by a higher chlorine content compared to other grades, it exhibits relatively good compatibility with other resins and polymers, along with excellent pigment wetting. The cured film produced by Trapylen® 186 X boasts high gloss and remarkable chemical and aging resistance. Its primary advantage lies in its outstanding adhesion to untreated polypropylene, PP/EPDM thermoplastic rubber, and, to a limited extent, polyethylene.

Trapylen® 186 S is a chlorinated polypropylene with a higher chlorine content compared to other Trapylen® grades. It demonstrates good compatibility with other resins and polymers, excellent pigment wetting, and forms a high-gloss, chemically resistant film. The primary merit of Trapylen® 186 S lies in its outstanding adhesion to untreated polypropylene, PP/EPDM thermoplastic rubber, and, with limitations, polyethylene.
