Solve Your Toughest Coating Challenges: Blocking, Marring & Flow Issues with IOTA 170
Every ink and coating formulator knows the struggle: achieving a perfect, high-gloss finish often comes at the cost of surface durability, or improving slip might lead to recoatability problems. Mingyi Silicone Co., Ltd. presents IOTA 170 Side Chain Acrylate Modified Silicone Oil—the smart solution to your most persistent formulation headaches.
Designed specifically for demanding applications like radiation-cured systems and pigmented coatings, IOTA 170 is more than just an additive; it's a performance enhancer that tackles multiple issues simultaneously.
Your Key to a Flawless, Durable Finish
Is post-print blocking affecting your production efficiency? IOTA 170 is engineered to provide outstanding anti-blocking properties. By forming a micro-structured surface that reduces contact adhesion, it ensures that stacked sheets or rewound rolls separate cleanly, safeguarding your finished products.
Do your coatings need better scratch and chemical resistance? This advanced silicone oil significantly improves surface hardness and scratch resistance, protecting your prints from the rigors of handling and transport. Its unique acrylate modification also imparts resistance to marker pens, allowing for easy cleaning without damaging the coating—a crucial feature for educational and industrial applications.
Beyond protection, IOTA 170 enhances the application process itself. It offers a slight increase in slip for smoother handling while promoting exceptional de-gassing. This powerful combination reduces surface defects and ensures a crystal-clear, bubble-free finish, especially in thick film applications like screen printing.
Tailored for Modern Printing Processes
IOTA 170 is compatible with a wide range of systems at recommended addition levels:
UV Screen Inks (0.1-2.0%): Improves flow and de-aeration in high-build layers.
UV Overprint Varnishes (0.1-1.0%): Adds slip and anti-blocking for a premium finish.
Lithographic & UV Inks (0.1-1.5%): Enhances transfer and rub resistance.
Supplied in 25kg iron drums with a 6-month shelf life under proper storage, IOTA 170 is your reliable partner for creating superior coatings. Stop compromising and start solving your formulation challenges with the intelligent design of IOTA 170.
