DeCAL 4214 is a waterborne transfer additive for flexographic inks. It improves definition by controlling the ink film weight. The addition level, usually between 2-4% as supplied on the total formulation, is determined by the pigments, binders, and machine characteristics. DeCAL 4214 also enhances the clean-down process on the press by increasing the open time.

Application Method
  • An acrylic grinding media such as DeCAL 4286 and water should be mixed and ground with pigment until a fine dispersion is formed. The remaining ingredients are then added and mixed well to form a homogenous pigment concentrate.
  • DeCAL 4214 does not assist pigment dispersion so should not be added in the grind, only at the let down stage.
