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. Discover 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. Discover more.
