Dura Chemical Corporation Ltd. Supplies Calcium [Drier], Cobalt [Drier], Manganese [Drier], Metallic Carboxylates [Drier], Polyester Accelerators, Polyurethane Catalysts, etc. The Rheology Modifier for Printing Inks is primarily used to develop body and reduce tack in printing ink vehicles. In addition it enhances pigment wetting, flow, setting, rate, gloss and reduces penetration and drying time as desirable side effect. These effects are brought about through chemical reaction of the gellant with the ink resin. The Rheology Modifier for Printing Inks or Durastab 36 is supplied as a pale yellow coloured liquid. It is readily soluble in the normal solvents used in the printing ink industry and is compatible with most oil, resin and vehicles like refined and bodied drying oils natural and synthetic oil soluble resins, alkyds, petroleum resins and mineral oils used in the printing ink industry. The use of highly polar solvents will be detrimental and is to be avoided as a viscosity adjustment measure of the base media.
