RK-7005 Economical Low Tack, Tabloid Gel

RK International is pleased to announce the development of RK-7005. RK-7005 is a low tack, general-purpose tabloid gel. The goal in the development of RK-7005 was to provide the inkmaker a vehicle system, which could be used to manufacture low tack ink without having to use a large amount of free solvent, which would tend to lead to misting. The RK-7005’s low tack and high gel structure provides the ink maker the ability to make a low tack ink, while maintaining a good structure. An additional benefit to using RK-7005 is its ease of mix down when making ink. This allows the inkmaker better manufacturing productivity. Additionally, the RK-7005 has added tack stability, unseen in many products of this type, essential for inks to run on low basis weight paper stock.
