Application Of Wax Emulsion In Ink

Application of wax emulsion in ink. As an additive for water-based ink, wax emulsion can improve the surface properties of water-based ink after film formation and give the ink better resistance to wear and scratches. At the same time, wax emulsion can also be used as a matting agent, which has a good matting effect.

Application fields of wax emulsion:

Water-based offset printing, pre-printed varnish: mainly including water-based polishing oil, cigarette package varnish, corrugated carton varnish, waterproof varnish, water-based matte oil, aluminum foil varnish, playing card varnish, water-based blister oil, water-based peelable varnish, water-based anti-slip varnish and other flexographic printing.

Gravure ink: water-based paper ink, water-based pre-printed ink, water-based non-woven ink, water-based plastic surface printing ink, water-based plastic woven ink, water-based decorative paper ink, etc.

The main mechanism and function of wax emulsion in ink:
By selecting reasonable emulsified wax and water-based resin, additives, etc., during the rapid drying process of the coating, the wax particles quickly migrate to the surface of the coating by floating and ball-axis effect to form a protective layer, thereby improving the physical properties of the coating. Compared with irregular flaky micro-powder wax, emulsified wax is spherical at the microscopic level, which has less impact on the gloss of the system, better dispersion and storage stability, and higher efficiency in improving coating performance.
1) Surface protection, improving wear resistance, scratch resistance and scratch resistance;

2) Through particle size control, it affects the gloss and transparency of the coating;

3) Adjust the surface energy of the coating to solve the problems of hydrophobicity, adhesion and re-adhesion of the coating;

TIANSHI ink special wax emulsion products are pure water-based, green and environmentally friendly, do not contain VOC, and meet the environmental protection requirements of food contact packaging and cigarette packaging industries. It has the following advantages:

On the premise of maintaining the gloss of the coating, it effectively improves wear resistance and has strong versatility;

High solid content, both wear resistance and gloss, high cost performance, comparable to the performance level of similar foreign products;

The coating has high hardness, which can reduce the slipperiness of the coating surface and is widely used in the field of anti-slip varnish such as cartons and medicine packages.
