Product Description
Modern packaging formulations are expected to deliver stunning colors, high print throughput, flawless finishes, and durable graphics, all while protecting the safety of end-users. Eastman Solus™ 1225 performance additive is designed to deliver on the high performance expectations required of ink and metal packaging formulations. This cellulose-based additive enables formulations with good resistance to UV discoloration, excellent hardness and anti-blocking properties in support of high production speeds. Solus™ 1225 is well adapted for use in printing inks and overprint varnishes as a result of its wide solubility in relevant solvents, strong compatibility with other ink resins, desirable resistance to grease and oil, low odor properties, and high melting point. When Solus™ 1225 is dissolved in appropriate solvents a clear, colorless solution is produced. Supplied as a dry free-flowing powder, this product is often used in combination with other Solus™ products to optimize the formulation viscosity.
Eastman Solus™ 1225 is based on cellulose, one of Earth's most abundant natural renewable resources, with an approximate calculated bio-content value of 45%.
