Solvent-Based Polyurethane Resins
INKANEX – Solvent-Based Polyurethane Resins for Ink Systems
INKANEX – Solvent-Based Polyurethane Resins for Ink Systems
INKANEX is an innovative product group consisting of solvent-based polyurethane (PU) resins specifically developed for rotogravure and flexographic ink systems.
With key features such as flexibility, strong adhesion, chemical resistance, and ease of processing, INKANEX polyurethane resins are indispensable components in modern ink formulations.
Why INKANEX?
Advanced Resin Technology
Available in aromatic, aliphatic, and semi-aliphatic options to provide the most suitable solution for each application.
High Print Quality
Outstanding visual results through high gloss, transparency, and excellent pigment dispersion.
Resistance to Harsh Conditions
Superior performance under retort, sterilization, outdoor, and chemical exposure conditions.
Suitable Ink Systems for INKANEX PU Resins
INKANEX solvent-based polyurethane resins are designed for use in the following ink technologies:
- Rotogravure inks
- Flexographic inks
Both film forming and non-film forming PU resin types are available to meet the technical requirements of various ink formulations.
INKANEX PU Products by Chemical Structure
Aromatic Polyurethanes (Non-Film Forming PU)
Aromatic polyurethane resins are non-film forming, meaning they do not create a continuous surface film. However, they contribute significantly to flexibility, thermal resistance, and adhesion within the ink formulation.
Advantages:
- High elasticity
- Cost-effective solutions
- Excellent thermal and chemical resistance
- Suitable for applications where transparency is not required
- Strong adhesion properties
Aliphatic Polyurethanes (Film Forming PU)
Aliphatic polyurethane resins are film forming and create a clear, durable film layer. Their high UV resistance makes them ideal for outdoor applications.
Advantages:
- Excellent UV resistance
- High gloss and transparency
- Strong lamination strength
- Resistance to oils, acids, and environmental factors
- Excellent pigment wetting and printability
- High thermal stability
- Good adhesion performance
Semi-Aliphatic Polyurethanes (Film Forming PU)
Semi-aliphatic structures combine the benefits of both aromatic and aliphatic PUs. These film forming resins offer a balanced performance profile.
Advantages:
- High clarity and gloss
- Flexible film formation
- Good lamination properties
- High heat resistance
- Good printability
- Strong adhesion
INKANEX Application Areas
- Retort packaging inks
- Flexible food packaging inks
- Laminating and surface printing inks for flexo and rotogravure
- Label and reverse-side printing inks
