The dye is dissolved initially in Butyl Cellosolve and then diluted with NC Lacquer (15% of NC 1/2 sec.)
Application:
- Coating on Metalized polyester film or aluminum foil printing.
- To get glossy finish on leather.
Solubility:
The solubility values given in the chart represent the amount of dyestuff in gram which dissolves at room temperature in one litre of solvent without any significant residue and remains in solution for at least 1 day.
Illustration:
The Printing inks for illustrations were prepared according to the following typical formulation:
