Common questions about VL Waxes in printing inks applications
Amide waxes have moderate polarity from their amide groups, providing better compatibility with ink binders, improved surface wetting, and enhanced adhesion performance.
Its thin, flexible lubricating surface layer provides controlled slip without compromising ink film adhesion, enabling reliable over-printing without pick-off or surface damage.
Yes, it is particularly effective in alkyd-based and metal decorating inks where adhesion to metallic substrates and re-printability are critical performance requirements.
Typical usage levels are 1–3%, adjustable based on ink system, required surface slip, and adhesion performance needs for the specific application.
No, K TINT-VL is designed to protect ink films without compromising gloss — it forms a molecularly thin layer that maintains optical clarity and color depth.
