TYTAN™ AP100 is a titanium phosphate complex in which the alkoxy groups can react with resins to promote adhesion and/or cross-linking while the chelating agents stabilize the molecule. Tytan AP100 is mainly designed to strongly increase the adhesion of solvent-based inks to a variety of plastics used for food packaging or other purposes.

Chemical Family: Phosphates, Titanium Compounds

Functions: Adhesion Promoter, Coupling Agent

End Uses: Flexography Ink, Gravure Ink, Nitrocellulose Ink, Non-Carbonyl Polyurethane Ink (NCPU Ink), Solventborne Ink

Labeling Claims: Acetylacetonate-free

Features: Acid Resistance, Good Pigment Dispersion, Grease Resistant, High Gloss, Low Color, Low Odor, Solvent Resistance, Viscosity Stability
