  • What are alternative plasticizers for coatings?
  • Some alternative plasticizers as proposed for coatings are ATBC, SAIB, DOA and EPO. Although main properties of phthalate-based plasticizers can be met, the other alternative products tend to be more sensitive to migration as compared to DOP or DIOP.
  • What is a plasticizer & how does it work?
  • Plasticizers are additives that increase the elasticity of coatings based on film-forming materials. In order to meet specific demands for your application, proper film-formation is essential. But, selecting the right plasticizer with a unique property of your choice is sometimes challenging.
  • How does a plasticizer interact with a resin?
  • The interaction is based on the specific structure of the plasticizer, typically containing polar and non-polar moieties, and results in lowering the glass temperature (Tg). In order to ensure high efficiency, the plasticizer should be able to penetrating in the resin at film-forming conditions. Commonly used plasticizers in coatings are:
  • What is the first step before processing a functional material into ink?
  • Therefore, the first step before processing a functional material into an ink is the determination of the most suitable deposition technique by considering the restrictions and the requirements of each specific device or application.
  • What is a digital pigmented ink emulsion?
  • In many instances the ink is jetted onto a substrate that has been primed with an ink-receptive coating. In digital pigmented inks, pigment-to-binder ratio needs to be optimized to enable best performance properties. These emulsions may also be used in conjunction with other soluble resins to impart ink resolubility.
  • Which emulsions are suitable for digital printing?
  • These emulsions may also be used in conjunction with other soluble resins to impart ink resolubility. The product table lists emulsions which could be suitable for digital printing. These Joncryl resins herein impart good filterability and also have low viscosity at a solid content of 36 to 48%.
