Navigating the Complexities of Wetting in Ink and Coating Formulations

The ability to effectively wet challenging surfaces has emerged as a significant hurdle in the formulation of inks and coatings. With the ongoing advancements in packaging materials, including low-density polyethylene, oriented polypropylene, metallic films, and aluminum foil, formulators face increasing complexities. Furthermore, evolving regulatory standards necessitate that products not only perform optimally during printing but also comply with consumer safety regulations. Additionally, issues related to hydrolytic stability of surfactants have led to variations in ink wetting properties over the product's shelf life.

In this presentation, an expert from Evonik had discussed the relationship between surface tension and substrate wetting, as well as the distinct roles of dynamic and static surface tension in both water-based and energy-cured systems. While a one-size-fits-all solution is not feasible, the diverse range of products offered by Evonik Coating Additives provides effective strategies to tackle these wetting challenges.

Outperformulate your waterborne inks - Part II

Recorded Webinar: Inks are often produced from semi-finished to address the application complexity and reduce the final production step to a blending operation. Semi-finished must not only be intermixable and compatible but also stable over the time. In this mini webinar series, challenges and solutions were presented. In the first part we have presented solutions for pigment preparations and particle stabilization, so how to control the color and appearance of an ink. Part 2, have been related to foam, slip, release and substrate wetting - so control of the physical parameters of an ink.
