Application of ink defoamer

Application of ink defoamer

1. Definition and principle of ink defoamer

Ink defoamer is a chemical additive specially used to eliminate foam in ink. It reduces the surface tension of ink, quickly penetrates into the foam, and destroys the stability of the foam, thereby achieving the purpose of eliminating foam.

2. Application scope of ink defoamer

Ink defoamer is widely used in various printing industries, including but not limited to offset printing, gravure printing, flexographic printing, etc. Whether it is traditional offset ink or environmentally friendly water-based ink, ink defoamer can be used to eliminate the foam problem.

3. The role and effect of ink defoamer

Quickly eliminate foam: ink defoamer can quickly diffuse to the surface of the foam, destroy the foam structure, and effectively eliminate foam of various sizes.

Improve printing quality: After eliminating the foam, the fluidity of the ink is improved, making the printed product clearer, fuller, and with higher color saturation.

Enhance ink stability: ink defoamer can reduce ink fluctuations caused by foam, improve ink stability, and ensure the smooth progress of the printing process.

Improve production efficiency: The use of ink defoamer can reduce production interruptions caused by foam, improve production efficiency, and reduce production costs.

4.the environmental protection and safety of ink defoamers

Modern ink defoamers are mostly environmentally friendly products, non-toxic and harmless, and meet environmental protection requirements. During use, they will not cause harm to operators and the environment.

5.the use of ink defoamers

When using ink defoamers, it is usually necessary to select suitable products according to actual needs, add them to the ink in a certain proportion, and stir them evenly. The specific use method may vary depending on the product type and printing process, so you should read the product manual carefully before use.

In summary

Ink defoamers play an important role in the printing industry, and can effectively solve the foam problem in the ink, improve printing quality and production efficiency. When selecting and using ink defoamers, they should be reasonably matched and operated according to actual needs.
