Multifunctional Additives for Printing Ink

EVOL develops additive solutions for printing inks where pigment dispersion, foam control, substrate wetting, flow and surface behavior determine production stability and print quality.

OVERVIEW

Performance from Ink Production to Print


Printing inks must maintain stable colour, controlled flow and reliable transfer at production speed. Pigment dispersion, foam, wetting and leveling are closely connected, and a change in one area can influence the full print process. EVOL combines molecular engineering with application testing to help formulators select an additive response suited to the ink chemistry, printing method, substrate and finish requirement.

Our portfolio supports waterborne, solventborne and UV systems across applications including waterborne inks, screen printing, inkjet and packaging inks.

INDUSTRY CHALLENGES

Key Formulation Challenges

Common formulation and processing priorities include:

01

Pigment Dispersion

Incomplete dispersion can reduce colour strength, increase viscosity and affect shade consistency and storage stability.

02

Foam Control

Foam generated during mixing, circulation or printing can interrupt transfer and create pinholes or uneven coverage.

03

Substrate Wetting

Films, papers and coated substrates require controlled wetting for uniform coverage and dependable adhesion.

04

Flow & Surface Performance

Leveling, slip, gloss and defect control must be balanced with the ink system and printing process.
