Products in Transportation Assembly: Waterborne Ink

A highly effective all purpose defoamer for printing ink formulations, such as corrugated, film & foil, and screen ink formulations. Also provides excellent initial foam knockdown when used as a press-side defoamer.

CoatOSil™ 77 coatings additive. It generally promotes a uniform finish and its air-release capacity can help to minimize defect formation. In addition, it can enable formulations to generate exceptionally low surface tensions - even when used in low dosages.

TAFIGEL PUR 54 is a low viscous, solvent-free associative thickener which builds up and stabilizes viscosity by forming a network between polyurethane, binder molecules and other paint ingredients. TAFIGEL PUR 54 can be used alone or in combination with other TAFIGEL thickeners, as well as with further technology thickeners.TAFIGEL PUR 54 is recommended for use in following systems: Interior and exterior paints, latex paints, anti-corrosive paints, emulsion plasters, adhesives, putties and printing inks. TAFIGEL PUR 54 is suitable for indirect food contact applications.

TAFIGEL PUR 82 is designed as an “associative thickener” which builds up and stabilizes viscosity by forming a network between polyurethane, binder molecules and other paint ingredients. TAFIGEL PUR 82 can be used alone or in combination with other TAFIGEL thickeners, as well as with further thickener technologies. Aqueous gloss paints, thickened with TAFIGEL PUR 82 show minimal pseudoplasticity, similar to the rheology of solvent borne systems. TAFIGEL PUR 82 is recommended for use in following systems: Interior and exterior paints, latex paints, anticorrosive paints, adhesives, and printing inks. TAFIGEL PUR 82 is suitable for indirect food contact applications.

A high efficiency foam control additive designed especially for OPV and most printing inks, such as corrugated, coated paper, packaging, film and foil.

CoatOSil™ 7608 trisiloxane coatings additive into water-borne coatings and inks can help with smooth and efficient spreading, even on hard-to-wet surfaces . CoatOSil™ 7608 coatings can help generate low surface tension, even when used in low dosages, as well as promote a glossy finish and reduce surface defects in the cured coating.

A workhorse and cost-effective oil-based defoamer for adhesive applications. AGITAN 5018 provides excellent compatibility, dispersibility and long term performance in a wide variety of adhesive and coatings formulations.

CoatOSil™ 7600 coatings additive is a silicone polyether copolymer with a pendant structure. It has been incorporated as a wetting agent or co-emulsifier in industrial and decorative water-based coatings.

CoatOSil™ 7602 coatings additive is a silicone copolymer with a polyethylene-oxide (EO) pendant side chain. The silicone portion of the molecule can help provide benefits such as good mar resistance and antiblock capabilities. The EO component enables ide compatibility with water-borne coatings and inks. This chemical structure makes CoatOSil™ 7602 coatings additive an excellent candidate for water-borne coatings and inks requiring a low coefficient of friction (COF) for increased slip.

CoatOSil™ 7605 coatings additive has been shown to provide these same performance enhancements to powder coating formulations. Unlike most others in the CoatOSil™ line of additives, it is the waxy solid nature of CoatOSil™ 7605 coatings additive that can allow it be incorporated into powder coating formulations.

CoatOSil™ 7510 coatings additive is a silicone copolymer with a pendant structure and polypropylene oxide (PO) side chains. The all PO side chain helps minimize the potential for foam stabilization, making CoatOSil™ 7510 coatings additive an excellent candidate as a defoamer in water-borne industrial or decorative coating formulations.
