Ink defoamers play a crucial role in the printing process. Proper use of defoamers can not only improve printing quality, but also reduce problems during the printing process.
Prepare the required defoamer and ink material according to the ink formula and the proportion of defoamer needed. Gradually add the defoamer to the ink while stirring to ensure that the defoamer is evenly dispersed in the ink. After adding the defoamer, continue stirring for a period of time to ensure thorough mixing. The amount of defoamer added should be determined according to the type of ink and the usage environment. The initial addition amount can be estimated based on experience and further adjusted through actual printing testing.
It is worth noting that when using defoamers, safety operating procedures should be followed, personal protective equipment should be worn, and contact with skin and eyes should be avoided. Pay attention to the storage conditions and expiration date of defoamers, and avoid using expired or improperly stored products. When defoamers are mixed with other chemicals, attention should be paid to their compatibility and compatibility testing should be conducted. If bubbles are still found in the ink, the amount of defoamer added can be increased appropriately, or printing process parameters can be adjusted, such as reducing printing speed, increasing printing pressure, etc.
With the continuous development of printing technology and the increasing demand for environmental protection, the market demand for ink defoamers is constantly growing. Printing ink defoamers, as indispensable auxiliary materials in printing processes, have the characteristics of high efficiency, environmental friendliness, and wide applicability. The use of defoamer can effectively solve the problem of ink foam and improve the printing quality and efficiency. With the increasing demand for high-quality printed materials in the market, the market prospects for ink defoamers will become even broader.
