Product series: YT-IK
PUD binders for waterborne flexo & gravure inks
Resins engineered for adhesion, resolubility and migration compliance in food-contact and industrial packaging inks.
Resins engineered for adhesion, resolubility and migration compliance in food-contact and industrial packaging inks.
YT-IK grades provide the film-forming, adhesion and resolubility profile that flexo and gravure ink formulators need. Products support low-VOC packaging inks with strong print fidelity and regulatory compliance pathways.
Strong adhesion to film and paper substrates
Good resolubility for press restart
Low odor, low VOC for packaging
Compatible with common ink additives
OPP, PET and PE films for food and consumer packaging inks.
Decorative and functional prints with strong rub and water resistance.
Grades with good resolubility for stop/start on long print runs.
Resin choice drives dispersion, transfer, adhesion and resolubility on press.
PUD, pigments, additives and water milled to target fineness.
Viscosity and solids adjusted for anilox or gravure cylinder.
Transfer to substrate; hot air or IR drying on press.
Lamination, slit and QC for adhesion, odor and migration limits.
Film type, print process and regulatory path define the right YT-IK grade.
