Efka® SL 3210

Has great compatibility with a broad range of printing ink systems.

Efka SL 3210 is a solution of a polysiloxane-modified polymer which is active at the substrate and air interfaces of inks and overprint varnishes. It has very broad compatibility with a broad range of printing ink systems. An applied film containing Efka SL 3210 is relatively insensitive to pinholing - even at high concentrations of the additive. This clear, colorless liquid may be used in water-based, solvent-based and UV-curable printing inks and over-print varnishes. Efka​​​​​​​ SL 3210 is especially effective in nitrocellulose-based systems for flexographic and gravure printing. It is also effective in UV flexographic printing.
