WAX ADDITIVES in OPV'S
Ultralube
Results of abrasion tests(Quartant, Prufbau) at a typical water based overprint varnish (wet film thickness 6 micro m with a content of a) no wax additive b) 3.15% of a typical wax emulsion of a competitor c) 2.4% ultrtalube E-842 N d) 1.4% ULTRALUBE MD-2000 (dosage levels calculated as solids in the final formulation a) after 200,b,c, d)after 2000 abrasion cycles
Results of gloss measurements (micro-tri-gloss,BYK-Gardener) at the OPV without any addition of wax additive, using 3,15% typical wax emulsion of a competitor, using 2,4% ULTRALUBE E-842 N and using 1,4% ULTRALUBE MD-2000 (dosage levels calculated as solids in the final formulation).
Product description
ULTRALUBE E-842 N and ULTRALUBE MD-2000 are water based wax additives in order to increase the abrasion resistance as well as the mar and scuff reisistance, the slip and the anitblocking behaviour of water based OPV-formulations at high degree of gloss. These was additives can be easily incorporated into the complete OPV-formulation by addition under stirring
