Filtrez™ 531 A is an alcohol soluble fumaric acid modified rosin ester with a high softening point and moderately high acid value. Filtrez™ 531 A can be used in solvent and water-based flexographic and in gravure inks. This resin can also be used as a leveling and gloss-promoting agent in floor polishes.

Co-solvent soluble polyamide resin 100% Solids

Filtrez™ 530 A is an alcohol soluble fumaric acid modified rosin ester with a high softening point and high acid value. Filtrez 530 A has good solubility and low viscosity in alcohol and aqueous ammonia solutions, which contributes to high gloss in overprint varnishes. This resin is commonly used in solvent and water-based gravure and flexographic inks. Filtrez 530 A also be used as a leveling and gloss-promoting agent in floor polishes.

Hydro-Rez™ 5614 A is a fumarated rosin ester that is soluble in alcohol and can be dispersed in water using ammonia or morpholine. The high melting point promotes fast solvent release and good leveling properties, and is compatible with shellac and Manila copal resins. Hydro-Rez 5614 A is recommended for use in solvent or water-based flexographic inks. This resin is also recommended for use in mineral spirit varnishes.

Hydro-Rez™ 5626 A is a fumarated rosin ester that is soluble in alcohol, and can be dispersed in water with ammonia or morpholine. The high melting point promotes fast solvent release and good leveling properties and is compatible with shellac and Manila copal resins. Hydro-Rez 5626 A is recommended for use in solvent or water-based flexographic inks. This resin is also recommended for use in mineral spirit varnishes.

Filtrez™ 526 A is an alcohol soluble fumaric acid modified rosin ester. Filtrez 526 A has a low amine requirement due to its low acid value, thereby enhancing faster dry. This resin generates a high viscosity in water, thus allowing for lower resin solids in the final ink, and in this way providing improved economics.

Flex-Rez™ 2433AD A is Lawter™ polyamide resin. Flex-Rez 2433AD A has served as the industry standard for surface printing applications on films or paper. Flex-Rez 2433AD A has excellent wet-pack resistance, coupled with excellent adhesion on difficult substrates such as polyethylene, polypropylene, and coated foils.

Optirub™ PC A is a finely micronized, polyethylene and carnauba blend processed to an 8 micron average particle size. Optirub PC A is recommended for applications where gloss retention, clarity, or inter-coat adhesion is important. In addition, Optirub PC A provides an excellent combination of slip, wet scuff, mar and block resistance. Optirub PC A is not recommended for recoating, imprinting, gluing, and die-stamping applications. Recommended usage level is 1 to 3%.

high acid value. Filtrez 530 A has good solubility in alcohol and aqueous ammonia solutions, and is commonly used in solvent and water-based gravure and flexographic inks. Filtrez 575 A has characteristics similar to acrylic resins with regards to drying, transfer, gloss, and water resistance of the dry film. The enhanced performance is due to its basic chemical composition, which sets it apart from many other fumaric resins. This resin is particularly useful in non-alcohol, low VOC, water-based inks.

Filtrez™ 339 A is a maleic modified rosin ester. Filtrez 339 A is designed for nitrocellulose lacquer and ink systems containing low aromatic solvents. This resin promotes hardness, adhesion and high gloss.

Filtrez™ 5014 A is a patented alcohol soluble fumaric modified rosin ester developed for flexographic and gravure printing inks. Filtrez 5014 A is designed primarily for wetting pigment in water-based inks and coatings. This resin enhances viscosity stability, and is fast drying, low bronzing, low foaming, as well as having good wet and dry rub resistance.

Filtrez™ 591 A is an alcohol soluble, fumaric acid modified, rosin adduct with a high acid value and good solubility in glycol systems. Filtrez 591 A is designed especially for moisture set inks exhibiting fast setting and good press stability. Filtrez 591 A can also be used in pigment striking as an additive. The high acid value, low molecular weight and rosin nature can enhance the pigment’s receptivity to wetting.

Filtrez™ 521 A is an alcohol soluble fumaric modified rosin ester. Filtrez 521 A is a high acid value, high softening point resin whose broad range of solubility and compatibility makes it an excellent choice in flexographic printing inks.
