Applications
  • Texicryl® 4025 is particularly suitable for inks used on absorbant substrates such as packaging materials and wallpapers. It can also be used in heat transfer inks. The choice of alkali governs the solution viscosity and drying speed, with ammonia giving the lowest viscosity.
  • Texicryl® 4025 can be used in both dispersion and solution form to formulate printing inks. By adjusting the pH from 8-8.5 a stable solution can be achieved.
