Products in Monomers & Intermediates: Solventborne Ink

TYTAN™ AQZ60 is a water-stable zirconium-based chelate that is effective in crosslinking -OH and -COOH groups. It works with a range of carbohydrate and functionalized polymers, acting as a crosslinker and potential adhesion promoter. The main application for TYTAN™ AQZ60 is in oil and gas fracturing fluids, as a replacement for alkanolamine-based zirconium derivatives, to deliver high viscosity and temperature-stabilized functionalized guar derivatives for secondary and tertiary recovery of oil and gas wells. It may also be used as a potential crosslinker in waterborne printing inks to improve film strength and adhesion.

TYTAN™ AQZ30 is a zirconium triethanolamine complex that readily hydrolyses in water to produce a hydroxyl zirconium chelate. This will readily crosslink with -OH and -COOH groups in solvent and aqueous systems to form strong gels and has the potential to act as an adhesion promoter.

TYTAN™ TAA is a titanium chelate whose alkoxy groups can react with resins to enhance adhesion and/or crosslinking, while the chelating agents stabilize the molecule. TYTAN™ TAA has an exceptional balance between reactivity and crosslinking/adhesion-improvement properties, which makes it highly suitable for significantly enhancing the performance properties of industrial coatings on challenging modern polymeric substrates, glass, and some metals.

Tytan™ AQZ30 serves as a highly effective rheology modifier specifically designed for functionalized guar derivatives, primarily utilized in secondary and tertiary recovery processes for oil and gas wells. This versatile product can crosslink in both water-borne and solvent-borne coatings, providing exceptional adhesion in water-borne and solvent-borne printing inks. Additionally, Tytan™ AQZ30 offers preventive measures against yellowing of the polymer during use.

Tytan™ AP100 is primarily formulated to significantly enhance the adhesion of solvent-based inks to various plastics utilized in food packaging and other applications. It is transparent, Tytan™ AP100 is particularly suitable for modifying ink to achieve clear-color and high-gloss printing, thereby resulting in improved gloss of the cured ink.

Tytan™ TAA boasts an exceptional balance between reactivity and cross-linking/adhesion-improvement properties, rendering it highly suitable for significantly enhancing the performance of industrial coatings on challenging modern polymeric substrates, glass, and certain metals. It's important to note that Tytan™ TAA is exclusively applicable in solvent-based inks and coatings.

Luxfer MEL Technologies Zirconium Propionate is used as an adhesion promoter in printing inks (Flexographic and gravure). It improves adhesion for printing onto difficult substrates, such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, metals, and other packaging materials.

Capatue™ Masked Amino Silane SCA-MA10E is a masked aminosilane and can be to triggered the demasking with moisture. This masked aminosilane can stably exist in isocyanate, epoxy, acrylic and other amino-reactive resins but, when exposed to any form of water, hydrolysis occurs rapidly. The ketone byproduct escapes to leave an activated primary amine.

TYTAN™ AQZ30 is Improved adhesion and cross-linking.

TYTAN™ AP910 is TYTAN™ AP910 is an ethyl citrate zirconium that can be formulated as an adhesion promoter for printing inks, crosslinker for paints as well as a catalyst for esterification. It is suitable for solvent based flexographic and gravure inks . It is for non-yellowing inks.
