JONCRYL^® polyethylene wax additives

JONCRYL polyethylene wax additives are used to enhance the performance of surface printing ink and overprint varnish (OPV) formulations. JONCRYL wax emulsions improve rub and scuff resistance with minimal loss of gloss. JONCRYL FLX CL1 crosslinker and Zinc Oxide Solution #1 improve the chemical and heat resistance of water-based formulations.
