functions of polyurethane binder in printing ink

The dissolving effect of organic solvents on resin is to attract solute molecules through the polarity of solvent molecules, which is commonly known as like dissolves. Traditional polyurethane resins have a wide range of compatibility with organic solvents. However, in the process of making inks, in order to adjust the ink flow properties and viscosity, alcoholic organic solvents need to be added. This will greatly reduce the stability of the resin system for traditional polyurethane resins. properties, turbidity, flocculent precipitation and other incompatibility phenomena may occur. However, the polyurethane resin used in ink is miscible with alcohol due to the presence of urea groups, but it should be noted that alcohol solvents are still pseudo-solvents. In the microscopic state, alcohol solvents wrap the polyurethane resin molecules, rather than true solvents due to the polarity of the molecules. Penetrating through the molecule, the ink made of polyurethane resin has good fluidity.

Polyurethane resin is a versatile material that can be used in the preparation of gravure printing ink for film. Gravure printing is a method of printing that uses engraved cylinders to transfer ink onto a substrate, and it is commonly used for high-volume printing applications such as packaging and labeling.

as a binder to provide adhesion and durability to the ink. It can also be used to adjust the viscosity and flow properties of the ink, which is important for ensuring consistent print quality and optimal ink transfer to the substrate.

We could provide solvent based polyurethane resin, polyurethane emulsion, acrylic resin, waterborne polyurethane dispersion to meet diversified requirement.
