FLUO HTG has been processed to a 1.0-1.5 NPIRI
grind gauge reading to allow for easy dispersion into
printing inks and coatings. Due to its very fine particle
size, FLUO HTG can either be pre-dispersed into
a paste or added directly into most inks and coatings
with conventional mixing equipment.
FLUO HTG is most effective when used at low
levels (1/2-1%) as an additive to either our MP grades
of micronized synthetic waxes or our MPP grades of micronized
polyethylenes. A low percentage of FLUO HTG gives
the most dramatic improvement. The addition of a small
amount of FLUO HTG along with our grades of waxes
or polyethylenes allows each material to perform with
maximum efficiency.
FLUO HTG is especially recommended for use in
Heat-Set, Quick-Set, IR, UV and metal Decorating Printing
Inks and Overprint Varnishes.
At temperatures above 600oF, some polymer fumes may
be emitted due to oxidation of the fluorocarbon polymer.
Therefore, smoking should not be permitted when working
with this material.
