Product Short Description:

Printing Ink solvent providing fast evaporation, improved ink flow, excellent printing definition and viscosity adjustment.

Product Description:

Fast-evaporating, solvent-based thinner for flexographic printing inks.

FLEXO REDUCER is based on ethyl acetate at a proprietory composition developed for viscosity adjustment and dilution of compatible solvent-based flexographic printing inks.

The formulation provides rapid solvent evaporation, good solvency, and improved ink flow during printing. It can help maintain consistent ink transfer, print definition, and drying performance when used at an appropriate dosage.

The product is intended for use in industrial flexographic printing operations, subject to compatibility with the ink resin system, substrate, and printing conditions.

Product Application:

Want print definition and fast evaporating ink?
Use RXSOL Flexo Reducer - a propietory industry approved formulation for an excellent flexographic reducer, thinner with rapid solvent evaporation, good solvency, and improved ink flow during printing

 

Where is RXSOL Flexo Reducer used?

  • Flexible packaging printing - For viscosity adjustment of compatible inks used on plastic films and flexible packaging materials.
  • Packaging and label printing - For selected solvent-based inks used in packaging, labels, and related printed materials.
  • Ink preparation and viscosity control - For controlled dilution of compatible inks before and during printing.
Product Dose:

Steps to follow to get efficient results while using Flexo Reducer:

  1. Check compatibility: Confirm that the thinner is suitable for the ink resin system and substrate. Test a small sample before production use.
  2. Measure initial viscosity: Determine the ink viscosity using the appropriate viscometer or flow cup specified by the ink manufacturer.
  3. Add gradually: Introduce FLEXO THINNER in small increments while continuously stirring the ink.
  4. Adjust viscosity: Continue adding thinner until the required printing viscosity is achieved.
  5. Verify print performance: Check drying time, ink transfer, adhesion, print definition, and resistance under actual operating conditions.

Recommendation from Industry experts: Use the ink manufacturer's recommended dosage as the starting point. No universal dilution ratio can be specified without knowing the ink formulation and printing conditions.

Excessive thinning may reduce color strength, adhesion, and print performance.

Product Note:

Advantages for your printing setup if you use RXSOL Flexo Reducer:
