Overview
Solus™ 1150 is a cellulose-based performance additive designed to improve the quality and productivity of flexographic and gravure inks and overprint varnishes. It forms clear solutions in a wide range of solvents, including alcohols typically used in ink formulations and can also be used as an additive in UV-curable ink and overprint varnish formulations. Solus™ 1150 is ideal for printing inks in solvent-based and energy-curable ink formulations and overprint varnishes. When added to these formulations, it increases block resistance, early-cure hardness, and flow and leveling properties. As such, Solus™ 1150 helps improve ink and varnish durability and image quality. Among Solus™ additives, Solus™ 1150 features excellent resistance to grease and oil, further making it an ideal additive for food packaging applications. Solus™ 1100 is a powerful additive made from renewable resources with nearly 50% bio content.
