Water-based urethane resin for inkjet ink binder

DIC’s water-based polyurethane resins are increasingly being adopted as ink binders for industrial inkjet printing, which is gaining attention for its suitability for small-lot printing. Through DIC’s proprietary product design, these resins achieve the various performance requirements demanded of binders for this application, contributing particularly to the textile field, where the shift toward environmentally conscious on-demand printing is rapidly accelerating.
●Formulation suitability: The low viscosity of the formulation ensures excellent jetting performance.
●Filterability: Excellent filterability helps reduce nozzle clogging.
●Water resistance: Its excellent water resistance reduces print wear during washing.
●High elongation / high durability: It exhibits excellent durability while maintaining elongation (flexibility) of over 300%.
