PolyTone Series – TP

• Printing Technique: Flexo Machine
• Substrate: PE-Laminated Packaging Materials
• Recommended Industries: PE-Coated Cup and Laminated Packaging Applications

Product Overview

PolyTone Series – TP is a water-based flexographic ink specially formulated to deliver superior adhesion, gloss, and print quality on polyethylene (PE)-coated packaging surfaces. Its formulation is optimized for laminated structures, providing a strong surface film, consistent color stability, and excellent performance even at high printing speeds. With high water resistance, strong color strength, and rapid drying, it ensures maximum efficiency for industrial printing lines.

Key Features

• Maximum water and rub resistance
• Exceptional gloss and vibrant color appearance
• Smooth ink transfer and uniform film formation
• Excellent printability and sharp detail resolution
• Rapid drying at high printing speeds
• Strong color intensity with rich pigment concentration
• Excellent surface adhesion; resistant to peeling or cracking

Technical Information

• Viscosity (Storage): Minimum 15 – 60 seconds (DIN 4 cup)
• Printing Viscosity: 18 – 22 seconds (DIN 4 cup)
• Thinning Ratio: Depending on ink color, 5% – 10% dilution with water is recommended
• Printing System: Suitable for flexographic printing systems

Application Recommendations

• Ensure the ink is well-mixed and homogeneous before printing.
• For optimal adhesion, ensure surface energy is above 38 dyn/cm on laminated films.
• Clean plates and anilox rollers with water during long printing breaks.
• Adequate air circulation improves drying efficiency at high speeds.

Storage and Shelf Life

• Unopened Package: Store for up to 6 months in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight.
• After Opening: Should be consumed within a short period to maintain quality.
• Viscosity may increase at low temperatures; bring to room temperature before use.
