Leveraging Rheological Additives for Enhanced Ink Performance
Printing inks require precise rheological control to ensure optimal transfer from the printing plate to the substrate, maintaining image quality and efficiency. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. offers organic bentonite rheological additives that are instrumental in achieving these performance goals.
Our organic bentonite rheological additives are known for their ability to provide thixotropy and viscosity modification in various ink systems. This is crucial for printing processes, as it ensures that the ink has the right body to transfer cleanly without excessive spreading or feathering. The additive helps create a stable gel structure that breaks down under the shear of the printing press and rebuilds when the ink is at rest, preventing settling in the ink fountain.
The anti-settling properties of our organoclays are particularly beneficial for inks that contain heavy pigments or are stored for extended periods. By suspending these components effectively, our additives maintain the uniformity and consistency of the ink, which is vital for reproducible print quality. This makes them an effective anti-settling agent for grease and inks alike.
For manufacturers of specialty inks, such as those used in packaging or industrial printing, achieving specific rheological profiles is often a key requirement. Our bentonite rheological modifier for coatings and inks can be tailored to provide the precise degree of viscosity and thixotropy needed for different printing methods, from gravure to flexography. This adaptability makes them a versatile choice in the ink industry.
The application of these additives contributes to improved printability, better dot definition, and reduced ink misting, all of which are essential for high-quality printing. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. is committed to supplying additives that meet the demanding performance requirements of the modern printing industry, ensuring that inks perform reliably and deliver exceptional results.
