In the competitive world of printing, achieving sharp, vibrant, and consistent prints is paramount. For manufacturers of water-based printing inks, the formulation plays a critical role. One key component that can significantly impact print quality and production efficiency is the surfactant used. As a leading chemical supplier, we focus on providing innovative solutions like our Ethoxylated Acetylenic Diol-based wetting agents, which are designed to offer low-foam characteristics and superior performance.

The Challenge of Foam in Printing Inks

Foam generation during the production and application of printing inks can lead to a host of problems. It can cause print defects such as voids, mottling, and uneven ink laydown. In the manufacturing process, excessive foam can hinder mixing, leading to inconsistent ink properties and potentially damaging equipment. Therefore, sourcing a wetting agent that inherently possesses low-foam properties is a strategic advantage for any ink manufacturer looking to buy reliable raw materials.

Benefits of Our Ethoxylated Acetylenic Diol Surfactants

Our Ethoxylated Acetylenic Diol-based surfactants are specifically engineered for water-based systems, offering excellent wetting capabilities essential for good ink transfer and substrate adhesion. They excel at reducing both static and dynamic surface tension, ensuring that the ink spreads evenly across the print head and the substrate, even at high printing speeds. Crucially, these surfactants are characterized by their low-foam nature. This means they contribute to a smoother manufacturing process and cleaner final prints, reducing rejects and improving overall yield.

Furthermore, our products are silicone-free and APEO-free, making them environmentally responsible choices and preventing potential issues with intercoat adhesion or silicone contamination in sensitive printing applications. As a manufacturer and supplier based in China, we are well-positioned to offer these advanced wetting agents at competitive prices for bulk purchase.
