Products in Bookbinding: Flexography Ink

Texicryl® 13-809 is a styrene acrylic emulsion polymer designed for high gloss, water-based overprint varnishes and heat resistant inks. This styrene acrylic binder has been designed to provide superb clarity, water resistance, heat resistance, gloss etc. It can be used as deblocking modifier.

Texicryl® 13-814 is a styrene acrylic copolymer aqueous dispersion with excellent flexibility and adhesion properties. It is suitable for use as the main binder in flexo or gravure inks and has good clarity so is suitable for offset overprint. This acrylic dispersion will also be suitable to compound into barrier coatings, as it exhibits very low MVTR and Cobb values.

Texicryl® 13-812 is an alkali swellable emulsion designed for water-based printing ink formulations. It has excellent rub resistance and transfer properties. It is designed for use in flexographic inks for corrugated board. It is also suitable as a pigment grinding medium and let down vehicle.

Texicryl® 13-828 is a highly efficient alkali swellable emulsion designed for water-based printing ink formulations. The product has been designed for use in flexographic inks for corrugated board. It is also suitable as a pigment grinding medium and let down vehicle.

PL-150 is oligo [ 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-[ 4-(1-methylvinyl) phenyl] propanone] and 2-Hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-propanone. It is a very fast curing type-I photoinitiator soluble in most monomers, oligomers and pre-polymers but insoluble in H2O.

PL-100 is a 70:30 blend of oligo [ 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-[ 4-(1-methylvinyl) phenyl] propanone] and 2-Hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-propanone. It is a fast curing type-I photoinitiator soluble in most monomers, oligomers and pre-polymers but insoluble in H2O.

Omnicat 445 is a low odor, benzene free iodonium hexafluorophosphate salt for cationic curing of epoxy, oxetane, and vinyl ether formulations.

Omnicat 432 is a mixture of triarylsulfonium hexafluorophosphate salts and propylene carbonate, for cationic curing of epoxy, oxetane, and vinyl ether formulations.

Omnicat 550 is a highly reactive odorless and benzene free photoinitiator designed for use in cationic curing inks and coatings. It is particularly suited to use in pigmented inks. Omnicat 550 has good solubility in the cycloaliphatic epoxides and oxetane diluents used in cationic UV curing formulations. Omnicat 550 is not sensitized by either hydroxyketone photoiniators, thioxanthones or anthracene derivatives.

Omnicat 320 is a colorless liquid photoinitiator of mixed triarylsulfonium hexafluoroantimonate salts in propylene carbonate. Omnicat 320 has been designed for the cationic curing of inks and coatings based on epoxy, oxetane, and vinyl ether formulations. Omnicat 320 exhibits high cure-speed, low odor, and excellent post cure.

Omnicat BL-550 is a liquid photoinitiator blend, based on Omnicat 550 (20%), Propylene Carbonate (25%) and cycloaliphatic epoxy (55%).

Omnicat 440 is a low odor, benzene free iodonium hexafluorophosphate salt for cationic curing of epoxy, oxetane, and vinyl ether formulations.
