Compatible Substrates & Surfaces
Substrates

Shows excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates such as high and low density treated polythenes, treated polypropylene, papers & some cellulose films. N.B. Treated films should have a treatment level of 38-42 dynes/cm.

Reducers
  • Tolerant to a wide range of alcohols/esters such as:
  • Normal: Ethyl Alcohol/N Propyl Acetate: 4/1
  • Fast: Ethyl Alcohol/Ethyl Acetate: 4/1
  • Slow: N Propanol/N Propyl Acetate: 4/1

Ethoxy Propanol with above mixtures to retard inks.N.B. care should be taken in the use of retarders as they may lead to odor or set-off in the reel; to enable clean running at slow speeds we have developed Puma-MFS which uses Alcohol /acetate mixtures for reduction to press viscosity.

Recommendations

Puma inks are not recommended for printing in heat-seal areas, any weather resistant applications, or later overprinting operations.
