Ink and Paint Binders 

Compatibility, adhesion, post lamination

Compatibility, adhesion, post lamination

While selecting the proper binder for a water based lamination ink, there are 3 basic factors that have to be taken into consideration:

  • Compatibility with the pigment paste and the rest of the formulation, to avoid uncontrolled  variation in the viscosity or formation of lumps and gels
  • Good adhesion on the support
  • Post lamination after printing. With acrylic binders it will be impossible to achieve the same bonding strength, which is a key feature especially in the PVC flooring market. That is why PUD binder is a relevant option.
