Our resins deliver superior printability, adhesion, gloss, solvent resistance, and long-term stability, ensuring exceptional performance on diverse packaging substrates such as BOPP, PET, PE, PVC, papers, and laminates.
1. Non-Reactive Polyamide Resin
A high-clarity polyamide resin designed for alcohol- and ester-based packaging inks. Provides excellent adhesion, flexibility, gloss, and low odour, making it ideal for surface printing on polyolefin films.
2. Saturated Polyester Resin
A durable polyester resin offering enhanced film strength, heat resistance, and chemical stability. Perfect for high-performance gravure inks requiring excellent clarity and block resistance.
3. Polyurethane Plasticizer
A specialty PU-based plasticizer that improves ink flexibility, adhesion, and abrasion resistance. Designed to stabilize PU and polyamide ink systems without affecting viscosity or print strength.
4. Polyurethane Film-Forming Resin
A premium polyurethane resin providing superior film formation, toughness, rub resistance, and solvent tolerance for demanding flexographic and reverse printing applications.
5. Reactive Polyamide Resin
A chemically reactive polyamide used in two-component packaging inks. Offers high chemical resistance, lamination bond strength, and excellent adhesion on difficult substrates.
6. Pure Phenolic Novolac Resin
A high-purity novolac resin delivering excellent thermal stability, hardness, and chemical resistance. Suitable for specialty inks requiring high temperature curing and superior print durability.
7. Ketonic Resin
A versatile ketone-formaldehyde resin known for excellent gloss, flow, pigment wetting, and adhesion. Widely used in flexo and gravure inks to improve print uniformity and stability.
8. Butylated Phenolic Resin
A modified phenolic resin offering excellent flexibility, fast cure, and improved chemical resistance. Ideal for high-performance inks used in industrial and packaging applications.
9. Aromatic Isocyanate Hardener
A fast-reactive isocyanate hardener that enhances crosslinking, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, and adhesion in PU-based laminating inks.
10. Melamine Formaldehyde Resin
A high-performance crosslinking resin that improves gloss, hardness, alkali resistance, and overall durability. Perfect for heat-seal coatings, overprint varnishes, and industrial packaging inks.
11. Rosin Modified Maleic Resin
A resin offering excellent tack, fast drying, and pigment compatibility. Frequently used in sheet-fed and flexographic inks to enhance transfer and print sharpness.
12. D.G. Lacquer (Dammar / Gum Lacquer)
A natural resin lacquer known for exceptional gloss, clarity, and surface leveling. Suitable for decorative inks, overprint varnishes, and specialty packaging applications.
13. Acrylic Resin
A multi-purpose acrylic polymer that delivers excellent color strength, weather resistance, gloss retention, and print clarity. Works across wide-ranging substrates in water-based and solvent-based systems.
14. Alkyd Resin
A modified polyester resin providing superior wetting, flow, gloss, and substrate adhesion. Ideal for paper, foil, and flexible packaging inks.
15. Epoxy Resin
A robust epoxy resin offering outstanding adhesion, chemical resistance, and mechanical durability. Essential for specialty inks, primers, and protective coatings used in demanding packaging environments.
