Fields of Application

ULTRALUBE® GA 1042 is especially recommended for waterbased overprint varnishes.

Recommendation for Use

• We generally recommend a dosage of 1.0 - 4.0 % ULTRALUBE® GA 1042 in aqueous coating systems related to the total formulation.
• The optimal dosage has to be determined in pre-trials.
• In aqueous coating systems the product is added during or at the end of the production process.

Technical Details & Test Data

Performance Test

ULTRALUBE performance has been tested in 3 different OPV based on Indulor resins

	Gloss [% GU]
	20°	60°	85°
OPV 1 - gloss	25%	76%	78%
OPV 2 - semi gloss	12%	46%	50%
OPV 3 - matt	4%	19%	19%

Application conditions:

• 6 μm wet layer with K-Bar Hand Coater (RK Print Ltd.) on magenta pre-printed Cards. Drying for 24h at RT

Performance criteria:

Abrasion Resistance:

• Prüfbau Quartant Rub Tester
• 200 g weight, rubbing back and forth by a rotating motion

Anti-Blocking / Slip:

• Slip and Friction Tester, supplier TMI - Testing Machines Inc., based on ASTM D 1894 / ISO 8295
• Static and kinetic CoF - Coefficient-of-Friction (Speed: 30 cm/min / 200g weight)

Anti-Slip:

• Slip and Friction Tester, supplier TMI - Testing Machines Inc., based on ASTM D 1894 / ISO 8295
• Static CoF (Speed: 30 cm/min / 200g weight)

Test Result

• Abrasion resistance - Evaluation of mechanical surface protection
• ULTRALUBE provides high durability of print while maintaining a high gloss levels
• 4.3% ULTRALUBE GA 1042 and 5.0% GA 1017 in OPV 1 - gloss
