ULTRALUBE® GA 1803 is especially recommended for waterbased printing inks with direct food contact.
- Recommendation for Use
- We generally recommend a dosage of 1.0 - 4.0 % ULTRALUBE® GA 1803 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.

- Milky white liquid
- Typical Properties
- Stabilities
- ULTRALUBE® GA 1803 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.
