Recommended Uses & Known Applications
  • S-394 N5 is easily incorporated with mild agitation (or high speed mixing equipment). S-394 N5 is compatible with PTFE at levels of 0.5 – 1.0% (SST-2 or SST-3).
  • Inks: Liquid and Paste Inks.S-394 N5 provides excellent rub resistance, excellent imprintability and freedom from overprint varnish “crawling.” It is ideal for ink applications requiring only a light canning pass. It is used in paste inks with normal three-roll milling.
  • Coatings: Can, Coil, Powder, Wood, Industrial, and UV Coatings. S-394 N5 enhances mar resistance, recoatabillity, hardness, and anti-blocking characteristics.
