BASF introduces new water-based emulsion for brilliant metallic inks
Joncryl® 2136-A enables the formulation of stable bronze and aluminum water-based printing inks with excellent printability and good resolubility. The film forming attributes of the polymer contributes adhesion and mar resistance properties to metallic inks for paper and paperboard applications.
“Our new Joncryl® 2136-A emulsion’s compatibility with pre-dispersed metallic pigments and standard ink raw materials also helps ease formulation and manufacturing processes,” said Richard Grandke, Industry Manager – Printing & Packaging, Dispersions and Pigments for BASF in North America.
Joncryl is a registered trademark of BASF Corporation.
