Common questions about Erucamide Wax in printing inks applications
K TINT-E migrates toward the ink–air interface during drying, forming a molecularly thin, continuous lubricating layer that significantly reduces surface friction without compromising adhesion or gloss.
Erucamide's controlled surface migration and molecular-level thin film formation provide precision slip control at very low dosages (0.2–1.0%), avoiding over-lubrication or haze.
Yes, K TINT-E is designed for both water-based flexographic inks and solvent-based gravure and flexo inks, as well as overprint varnish systems.
No, K TINT-E is formulated to deliver surface slip and anti-blocking performance without negatively affecting ink color strength, gloss balance, or optical clarity.
K TINT-E is added during the let-down stage using standard mixing equipment at 0.2–1.0% loading. Pre-dispersion in a compatible carrier may further improve distribution.
