ULTRALUBE® GA 2030 is especially recommended for waterbased metallic printing inks.
- Recommendation for Use
- We generally recommend a dosage of 1.0 - 4.0% ULTRALUBE® GA 2030 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 2030 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
- 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 - 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
Product Comment Without ULTRALUBE
- ULTRALUBE GA 2030
Best slip – lowest CoF best price-performance ratio suitable for indirect food contact
