Ink additive
Mellisol 98
A Machine Wash Additive is a specially formulated cleaning chemical designed for automatic and manual cleaning of printing machines to remove complete ink residues from ink rollers, blankets, cylinders, plates, ink trays, and other printing areas.
It is designed to dissolve both fresh and dried ink deposits, including pigments, resins, oils, and varnish components, while providing good rinsability and compatibility with printing machine components.
Mellisol 10
A Plate Washing Additive is a specially formulated cleaning additive used in offset printing and printing machine maintenance to remove ink residues, paper dust, dried ink, fountain solution deposits, and contaminants from printing plates and rollers.
It is designed to provide efficient cleaning while maintaining the integrity of printing plates, improving image quality, and reducing downtime during press operations.

A Wetting & Dispersing Agent for Printing Inks is a specialty additive designed to improve the wetting, dispersion, stabilization, and color development of pigments in various ink systems. It helps reduce pigment agglomeration, improves grinding efficiency, and maintains uniform pigment distribution throughout the ink.
The additive reduces the interfacial tension between pigments and the ink vehicle, allowing better penetration of binder into pigment particles and producing inks with improved color strength, gloss, transparency, flow, and storage stability.

A Mineral Dispersing Agent is a specialty additive used to improve the dispersion, suspension stability, and processing efficiency of mineral particles in aqueous and solvent-based systems. It prevents agglomeration of fine mineral particles, reduces slurry viscosity, and maintains uniform particle distribution.
Mineral dispersants are widely used in industries where minerals such as calcium carbonate, kaolin, clay, talc, silica, bentonite, titanium dioxide, iron oxide, and other fillers are processed into stable slurries or incorporated into formulations.

A specialty wetting and dispersing agent for black pigments is a high-performance additive developed specifically for the dispersion of carbon black and other high-surface-area black pigments used in coatings, printing inks, plastics, and pigment concentrates.
Carbon black has extremely high surface area and strong particle–particle attraction, making it difficult to disperse. These dispersants are designed to provide strong adsorption on pigment surfaces and prevent re-agglomeration, resulting in improved jetness, color strength, gloss, transparency, and stability.
