Aromatic hydrocarbon resins are used in the printing ink industry for the formulation of varnishes mainly in

• newspaper offset inks, heatset offset inks, sheetfed offset inks,  mostly in combination
• with a printing ink oil 
• gravure printing inks.

Particular advantages of using NOVARES resins are:

• control of viscosity
• increased solid content
• increased gloss
• improvement of pigment wetting
• increase of pigment adhesion properties
• adjusting absorption of humidifier
• adjusting the tack of printing inks.

We offer the possibility to supply the NOVARES resins formulations in a solvent of your choice (e.g. mineral oil, solvent). Please give us a call.

Using premixed resin/oil blends as binders for offset-inks will reduce the overall ink production costs. For initial tests we suggest NOVARES TL 120 and TT 140, a range of standard resins with good cost efficiency.
