Ink the Deal
Nynas new Nyflex 2120B is a low-viscosity hydrotreated naphthenic oil suitable for producing printing ink distillate for heatset printing formulations, the Swedish specialty naphthenic producer says. Printing ink distillate uses pigment in an oil solvent, which in the case of heatset printing, goes through an oven to set the solvent oil rather than drying it. Nyflex 2120B can also be used as a substitute component in silicone sealant formulations, especially beneficial in a market that is currently experiencing high prices for silicone-based products.
