ULTRALUBE® GA 1846 is especially recommended for waterbased printing inks.
- Recommendation for Use
- We generally recommend a dosage of 1.0 - 4.0% ULTRALUBE® GA 1846 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.

- Typical Properties
- Stabilities
- ULTRALUBE® GA 1846 is sensitive to frost; after the impact of temperatures below the freezing point irreversible changes can occur. The containers must be protected from direct sun radiation and kept from temperatures higher than 30°C.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Test Result - Slip and Antiblocking
- Slip protects packaging from damaging during production processes and transportation
The lower the CoF (Coefficient of Friction); the higher the slip
- ULTRALUBE enhances slip and anti-blocking even in high gloss OPV
- Dosage 3.0% ULTRALUBE GA 2030 and 4.3% GA 1046 in OPV 1 - gloss
