INK ADDITIVE

At the final stage of inkjet ink formulation, there are many ink additives, carriers, colorants used.  We can offer some important additives including wetting agent, defoamer, dispersion resin, and emulsifer.

MOS-173 Wetting Agent

Surface tension is one of the most important physical properties of inks. Not only it determines the drop formation from the print-head nozzle, but also determines how deep ink drop can penetrate into media surface.

MOS-173 silicone surfactant can easily lower the surface tension of a liquid and thus allows it to spread more easily.

 MOS-173 is recommended for all water based printing inks which contain a small proportion of organic co-solvent.

MOS-500 Defoamer

Printers will not perform well with foamy ink or ink that has bubbles in it. A simple bubble can cause a complete blockage in the line like an air embolism can cause a stroke in a living person. So you need a defoamer to remove air bubbles in your ink formulation system.

MOS-500 is a defoamer for use with water based printing ink. With use of MOS-500, surface tension of ink won't be changed dramatically. It's a very stable and reliable defoamer.

MOS-176 Dispersion Resin

Dye ink is formed from water-soluble molecules, while pigment ink is comprised of insoluble pigment particles. Dispersion Resin is usually used in pigment ink as a carrier to help pigment particles suspended in ink solution. MOS-176 is a polymer dispersion for use with water based pigment ink.

MOS-078 Emulsifier

At the final stage of ink formulation, there are many ink additives, carriers, colorants used. Some of them are water based; while the other may be oil based. You need a very reliable emulsifier to combine these compounds and make your finish inks consistent and stable. MOS-078 Emulsifier is certainly your best choice.
