Syensqo's Solutions for Enhanced Inks
Syensqo offers an extensive product portfolio for printing inks backed by more than 60 years of experience in the coatings, inks and adhesives markets. From anionic and nonionic surfactants, emulsifiers and specialty monomers, to specialty polymers, our products improve both the performance attributes and sustainability credentials of inks. Our formulations help customers switch from solventborne to waterborne solutions, and meet consumer expectations for non-toxic products. Syensqo's specialty chemicals serve critical functions in inks, like pigment wetting and dispersion, substrate wetting, foam control, mar resistance, moisture and oil repellency, gloss retention, and abrasion resistance.
Beyond additives, our specialty polymers provide water resistance, outstanding adhesion and chemical inertness, enabling inks to perform over extended periods and in demanding environments. Learn more about our ink solutions today.
Our Solutions for Inks
Emulsion Polymerization
Syensqo's solutions for emulsion polymerization have spurred the development of synthesis techniques and formulations that enhance binder quality.
Foam Control
Syensqo's defoamers help formulators achieve excellent gloss and clarity across various applications and systems that require smooth surfaces for aesthetics and functionality.
Pigment & Wetting Dispersion
Syensqo offers a variety of customizable additive packages for pigmented systems to improve wetting, dispersing, compatibility and stabilization of organic and inorganic pigment dispersions.
Substrate Wetting
Our portfolio of solutions for substrate wetting enables inks to have better flow profiles and aesthetic performance. Additionally, our substrate wetting agents remove surface tension to penetrate difficult materials such as paper, plastic, metals, and more.
Sustainable Formulations
Our solutions contribute to more sustainable products for consumers without sacrificing performance. Syensqo's additives facilitate the transition from solvent-borne systems to waterborne formulations by eliminating or reducing APEs and VOCs in ink formulations. In turn, ink producers can earn eco-labels and attain regulatory compliance.
Diverse Portfolio for Ink Enhancement
Syensqo offers a diverse portfolio for higher-performing and more sustainable inks. From our specialty monomers like the Sipomer® PAM series and green solvents like Augeo®, to specialty additives like Polymist®, Rhodoline®, Rhodacal® and Rhodasurf®, to specialty polymers, our solutions address the most significant challenges associated with ink production and use.
