Offset Printing
Hydrophobic HDK® grades regulate the water content in offset printing inks, thus reducing scumming and emulsification. HDK® is usually added in concentrations of 0.3 - 1.5%.

Benefits:
- Regulation of viscosity
- Prevention of pigment settling
- Improved smooth transfer of the ink to the print medium
- Enhanced color intensity
- Superior image due to sharp raster formation
Applications:
- Paper, cardboard
- Plastic foil
- Glass
- Ceramic
- Metal sheets
