Manalox™ 360 is a solvent-free source of an active aluminum gellant that is perfect for UV cured inks and coatings. However, a more stable, low skinning condition can be achieved by making a 50-75% solution in ink oil solvent prior to use and/or storage. Solutions can be added to the varnish at temperatures of 150°-180°. Manalox produces isopropyl alcohol as a byproduct of the gelling reaction.
