▶ TYTANTM Adhesion Promoters for Inks
The current range of TYTAN
TM products strongly improves adhesion of printing inks to flexible and metal packaging films while enabling them to withstand heat sealing, freezer storage, abrasive handling, solvents, acids, greases during printing, packaging, storage and handling by consumers.
Our range includes TYTAN
TM AP100, the low odor and low color alternative, fully registered in Europe and the USA.
In addition to our TYTAN
TM range suitable for solvent based flexographic and gravure inks, we now also introduce our:
- TYTANTM TAA and AP20 for strong adhesion of non-food contact inks
- TYTANTM AP110/AP120 for better viscosity stability
- TYTANTM AP310/APZ900 for non-yellowing inks
As such, Borica can offer the most comprehensive product range of environmentally friendly adhesion promoters and cross-linkers to the global ink industry.
