How Waterborne Polymers Improve Flexographic Printing Quality
- 2026-05-07 14:50:35
- admin
In flexographic printing, the performance of waterborne polymers and resin systems directly affects ink stability, color consistency, adhesion, and production efficiency. Traditional water-based inks may cause anilox roller clogging during long production runs, leading to unstable ink transfer and interrupted printing. In comparison, UV flexographic inks cure instantly under UV light, helping redu...

Why Are Some Waterborne Polyurethane Dispersions Milky White While Others Are Translucent
- 2026-07-16 15:53:46
- admin
Waterborne polyurethane dispersions, commonly known as PUDs, may appear milky white, translucent, or slightly bluish in the liquid state. This difference is mainly related to particle size, particle size distribution, and how strongly the dispersed particles scatter visible light. In general, milky dispersions scatter more light, while finer dispersions allow more light to pass through. However, a...

How to Choose the Right Water-Based Resin for Your Application
- 2026-08-05 17:59:28

Choosing a water-based resin should begin with the application, not with viscosity, solids content, or price. Products with similar technical data can behave very differently in production. A resin may work well on paper but show weak adhesion on plastic film. A coating may form properly under heated drying but remain tacky at room temperature. A low-viscosity polyurethane dispersion may look too ...

How to Choose a Waterborne Polyurethane Dispersion for Industrial Glove Coatings
- 2026-08-11 18:51:37
- admin
As global environmental regulations such as EU REACH and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 become increasingly stringent, traditional solvent-based PU systems face growing restrictions in protective glove manufacturing. With advantages such as low VOC emissions and no DMFa residue, waterborne polyurethane (WPU) emulsions are rapidly becoming a key choice for glove manufacturers transitioning from solvent...

How to Choose a Water-Borne Adhesive for Hot Stamping Foil
- 2026-08-21 17:00:20
- admin
A good hot stamping result depends on more than the foil it self. The adhesive layer affects transfer quality, edge definition, adhesion, drying, and storage stability. When selecting a water-borne adhesive for hot stamping foil production, start with three points: the substrate, the coating process, and the stamping temperature. Check the Substrate Hot stamping foil may be used on paper, OPP, PET...
