Key Technical Specifications

Key Features and Benefits

• Outstanding Lightfastness and Weather Resistance: Rated 8 on the Blue Wool Scale (excellent) and 5 on weather resistance for both full shade and tint, preventing fading even under intense UV exposure—perfect for outdoor signage, posters, photo prints, and archival applications.
• Excellent Heat and Chemical Stability: Withstands up to 200°C for 10 minutes without shade change, plus full resistance (rating 5) to acids, alkalis, and solvents like xylene, MEK, ethyl acetate, cellosolve, and mineral turpentine. Ensures long-term color integrity in demanding environments.
• Optimized for Water-Based Inkjet Inks: Features a high specific surface area of 70 m²/g, low oil absorption (50 ± 10 g/100g), and pH range of 6.0-8.0 for superior dispersibility, low viscosity, and stable dispersions. Prevents nozzle clogging, enables smooth jetting, and supports fine particle sizes for reliable, high-speed printing.

• Vibrant Greenish-Yellow Shade with High Transparency: Delivers a clean, medium greenish-yellow tone with outstanding tinting strength and transparency, enabling precise color matching and vivid reproductions in inkjet formulations.
• Exceptional Light and Weather Fastness: Rated 8 for lightfastness on the Blue Wool Scale and 5 for weather resistance, making it ideal for durable prints exposed to sunlight, such as outdoor signage, banners, and archival materials that resist fading over time.
• Superior Heat Stability: Withstands up to 200°C for 10 minutes without notable shade alteration, ensuring reliability in high-temperature processing and curing scenarios.
• Excellent Chemical and Solvent Resistance: Scores 5 for both acid and alkali resistance, with no bleeding (rating 5) in common solvents like xylene, MEK, ethyl acetate, cellosolve, and mineral turpentine—maintaining color integrity across diverse ink systems.
• Optimized for Water-Based Inkjet Inks: Fine particle distribution (may include particles <0.1 μm) promotes excellent dispersibility, low viscosity, and stable suspensions, preventing nozzle blockages and ensuring smooth, consistent jetting performance in aqueous inkjet printers.
• High Efficiency and Versatility: Low oil absorption (50 ± 10 g/100g) and high specific surface area (70 m²/g) allow for minimal loading to achieve strong color intensity, reducing formulation costs while delivering glossy, professional results.
