Polyurethane Resins For Inks

experience and expertise in pu vehicle for flexo and rotogravure inks

After years of dedicated research and innovation we developed a line of advanced polyurethane-based ink vehicles.
Our product range is made up by a wide variety
of plasticizing and film forming resins for gravure and flexographic applications.

These PU vehicles can be used as ingredients in the formulations of printing inks for surface and lamination printings. They fulfil the most critical and demanding requirements in all application areas.

The polymeric plasticizer vehicles can be used in combination with NC resins; they provide flexibility, improved adhesion on the most common substrates and low solvent retention. The film forming resins are characterized by a high molecular weight; they can be used in combination with NC resins or alone for making full PU printing inks.

We have semi-aliphatic and aliphatic versions applicable with flexographic or rotogravure technique. They are characterized by a superior adhesion on substrates, anti-blocking properties, heat (retort) and water resistance and no yellowing performance.

Our Technical Team may provide a full support to help in the selection of the most appropriate grade and to recommend the best way to use them. We also have the necessary experience to modify the existing formulations and to tailor make new types of PU resins in cooperation with our customers. We always appreciate the opportunity to explore potential avenues for collaboration between
our companies.
