Applications

SPCRYL 160 MEA is a high molecular weight, high acid value resin solution specifically designed to optimize the grinding of pigments while still offering excellent ink stability. Dispersions made with SPCRYL 160 MEA exhibit excellent rheology properties.
This allows for higher pigment loadings, which are a trend in the industry. Due to its superior color development capability it is often possible to achieve equal color strength at reduced pigment levels.
