Driers

Characteristics and Applications

• Boosts the oxidative polymerization process of the ink, which may be hindered by external factors such as high humidity or paper acidity.
• Reduces ink stability on the machine (press), meaning the ink will tend to dry faster on the rollers.
• Usage dosage: 1%.

Characteristics and Applications

• Used to accelerate the drying of offset inks; activated by the fountain solution, it provides oxygen to the print as it dries. 
• Easy to handle and is added to the ink on the machine. 
• Stable in the container. 
• Usage amount: 1–3% of the ink. 
• Reduces ink stability on the machine.

Used for printing:

• damp material 
• high-coverage jobs 
• non-absorbent substrates 
• flexible films 
• aluminum and metallized paper 
• matte coated paper 
• gold and silver inks
