SENSITIZERS
Activators #1, #3, & #7 are sensitizers used to enhance the cure rates of Kolorcure inks and coatings. They serve as photoiniators (light activated catalyst). White Kolorcure products are supplied ready for use, there are certain conditions such as faster speeds or thicker deposits where the addition of these activators will be desired.

SENSITIZER #1 is a low-cost, multi-purpose activator.

SENSITISER #3 is non-yellowing and is used in white, clear coatings and other inks where non-yellowing is needed.

SENSITISER #7 is a powerful activator for opaque colors to improve cure speed and adhesion.

ADHESION PROMOTERS
Adhesion promoters are designed to improve performance on difficult substrates. They are available in quarts and gallons.
Adhesion Promoter 8210 A general purpose additive that will improve adhesion when used 10-20% by weight.
POLY KING II Adhesion Promoter 8622 Add 1/2 to 1% by weight to get improved adhesion to polyethylenes and polypropylenes with dyne levels less than 48. May reduce stability of the ink.
METAL KING II Adhesion Promoter 8640 Add 4 to 6% to inks to improve adhesion to bare metal and glass.
Series II Adhesion Promoter 8350 Add 10-20% to improve adhesion and intercoat adhesion on difficult substrates.

ALUMINUM ADHESION PROMOTER R-470

Add 5-15% by weight for improves adhesion to aluminum diskettes.

ANTI-BUBBLE ADDITIVES
Anti-bubble additive is a bubbling and control agent for Kolorcure UV Curable coatings. For the most part, Kolorcure Inks and Coatings are ready for use; however, sometimes the use of high speed production equipment requires a small amount of anti-bubble additive.

ANTI-BUBBLE ADDITIVE #1: Use this additive when bubbles occur while printing with semi-automatic equipment. Add at the rate of 1 to 5 percent by weight.

ANTI-BUBBLE ADDITIVE #2: Use this additive when bubbles occur while printing with automatic equipment (cylinder or rotary screen presses). Add at the rate of 1 to 5 percent by weight

NOTE: Additives become an integral part of the cured ink or coating. Excess amounts of these products may effect cure speed, flexibility or adhesion. User should retest for performance after additives are included in the product. Available in quarts and gallons.

KC-8102 Kolorcure Anti-Bubble #2

DILUENTS
DILUENTS #1 & #2 are used to reduce the viscosity of UV curable coatings When reduction is desirable, up to 10% thinner (diluent) can be added.

DILUENT #1 is used when flexibility needs to be retained.

DILUENT#2 will help adhesion and film toughness.

DILUENT #3 is used to reduce viscosity as well as increase the cure speed. Diluent III will also improve the hardness and mar resistance of UV curable inks and coatings. Because this is a reactive additive, the addition of too much (greater than 20%) can cause brittleness. For reduction alone, Diluent II is recommended because it has less tendency to reduce flexibility of the cured film. Use 5 to 20% Diluent III to enhance cure speed. Once UV ink has been diluted, retesting should be done to insure performance. All diluents are available in quarts and gallons.
