In the fast-paced world of printing, achieving consistent quality and operational efficiency is paramount. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM understands the critical role that chemical additives play in the success of printing processes, particularly in offset lithography. One such crucial additive is the wetting agent, which significantly impacts the performance of fountain solutions.

Our T-87 wetting agent, a nonionic surfactant based on ethoxylated acetylenic diols, has emerged as a key solution for printers seeking to optimize their operations. Traditional fountain solutions often rely on isopropyl alcohol (IPA) to achieve proper wetting and maintain ink-water balance. However, IPA can contribute to VOC emissions and pose safety concerns. The T-87 wetting agent offers a compelling alternative, providing excellent wetting properties and reducing the need for IPA in fountain solutions. This aligns with the growing demand for environmentally friendlier printing chemicals.

The core value of T-87 lies in its ability to significantly lower dynamic surface and interfacial tension. This property ensures that the fountain solution spreads evenly across the printing plate and substrate, preventing issues like poor ink transfer or ghosting. For printers, this translates to sharper images, more vibrant colors, and a reduction in print defects. The high-speed wetting capabilities of our T-87 are particularly beneficial in modern, high-speed printing presses, where rapid and efficient performance is essential.

Furthermore, T-87 is designed to be low-foaming, which is crucial for maintaining the stability of the fountain solution and preventing operational issues such as foam buildup in the dampening system. Unlike many other surfactants, it is also silicone- and oil-free, and APEO-free, making it a cleaner and safer option for both the printing environment and the final printed product. This commitment to clean chemistry is a hallmark of NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM's product development.

When considering the purchase of such chemical auxiliaries, seeking out reliable suppliers is key. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM is dedicated to providing high-quality chemical solutions that meet the evolving needs of the printing industry. By incorporating advanced wetting agents like T-87, printing companies can achieve superior results, reduce their environmental impact, and maintain a competitive edge. For those looking to improve their fountain solution formulations and explore options for IPA reduction, NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM offers expert advice and reliable products to support your printing needs.
