Coates of India ltd. is a worldwide leader in manufacturing of Quality Liquid inks with its wide variety of products suitable for every possible base and application.

As Distributors for Coates our Range of Liquid Inks includes following :

BRITEFLEX / MULTIGLOSS INKS
(Surface printing inks for treated polyethylene, polypropylene)

Briteflex/multigloss inks maybe printed on a wide range of films, aluminium foils, paper and board theses inks have good adhesion to treated polyethylene, treated polypropylene, PVDC coated cellulose film (PT), polyester nylon.

The recommended treatment level for polyethylene and polypropylene film is at least 38 dynes/cm to ensure good adhesion and optimum resistance properties.

TWIN PACK MULTIGLOSS AR INKS
Surface printing Gravure AR inks for treated polyethylene

TWIN PACK MULTIGLOSS AR INKS have been formulated for gravure printing on treated polyethylene substrate, qualifying the aggressive detergent and alkali resistance test making them suitable for detergent packing.

VULCAN
Surface printing H/R inks for Coextruded polypropylene film

VULCAN is a range of inks formulated for flexo and gravure printing on treated coextruded polypropylene/BOPP films used for packing "Potato Chips" and similar crisp snack food products. Vulcan inks exhibit excellent print qualities and adhesion when run on the modern high speed presses.Vulcan inks ensure production of prints having low odour and low solvent retention properties. Vulcan inks also guarantee heat resistance suitable for many inks - in - seal applications, products resistance towards animal /vegetable fats and good scuff. However, Vulcan inks give moderate goss but the gloss can be improved by application of heat resistant overcoat.

ULTRALAM
(Reverse Printing Gravure Lamination Inks for Polyester Film)

ULTRALAM inks have been carefully formulated to offer sharp printability for solid as well as halftone jobs on polyester film at varying press speeds. Good adhesive lamination characteristics are - in built in these inks to make them suitable for lamination with polyethylene film, aluminum foil, paper, board and metallised film to satisfy the needs of a variety of packaging applications.

MODFLEX
(Surface printing vegetable oil resistant inks for treated polyethylene, polypropylene by flexo/ Gravure)

MODFLEX inks have been carefully formulated for flexo and gravure printing, satisfying the demand of high gloss and high print strength and qualifying vegetable oil and spice resistance test, hence making them suitable for polyethylene vegetable oil packing.

For very aggressive brands of vegetable oil and spices (e.g. certain mustard oil brands furmeric etc.) we recommend use of twin packing multigolss AR inks.

MODFLEX inks have good adhesion to treated polyethylene, treated polypropylene. These inks give inadequate adhesion on untreated or improperly treated polyethylene and polypropylene films. The recommended treatment level for polyethylene and polypropylene films is at least 38 dynes/cm to ensure good adhesion and optimum resistance properties.

POLYTONE INKS
(Flexo half tone process inks)

Polytone inks have been specifically formulated to give excellent dot reproduction and minimum dot gain for high quality flexo half-tone printing of 4-colur process work in polyethylene, certain other films, paper and boards. The careful balance of resin and solvent combination has been designed to give (a) clean running and fast drying properties at the high printing speeds of modern flexo presses and (b) controlled drying for accurate register at low make ready speeds with little or no alteration.

As Polytone inks are alcohol reducible and do not contain hydrocarbon solvent they can be used with both photopolymer and natural rubber stereos. Polytone inks have low odour and low solvent retention and are ideally suited for food packing work. When a base white is required, best results will be achieved using Polytone white. Built-in-anti-static properties plus good slip and scuff resistance are important properties of polytone inks that aid trouble-free running on packaging machinery.

BRITESACK
(Surface printing inks for polyethylene, polypropylene woven sacks)

BRITESACK inks have been carefully formulated for flexo printing to meet the demand of high gloss and high print strength on a wide range of woven sack substrates. A separate reange is available for for fertiliser resistant applications.

BRITESACK inks may be printed on wide range of PE and PP woven sack very good scratch resistance is achieved if the PE and PP surfaces are treated at minimum 38 dynes/cm.

SWAN
(Flexo water-based inks for paper and board)

SWAN water based flexo inks have been specially formulated for surface printing on various paper and board substrates SWAN inks offer good printability and high colour strength at low viscosities. A separate range is available for label printing.

The careful choice of resins in SWAN inks gives clean printing and high quality half-tone reproduction on Flexo machines. SWAN inks dry rapidly on absorbent liner substrates such as white top or kraft.

UNILAM INKS
(Reverse Printing Lamination Inks for BOPP & Polyester Film)

UNILAM INKS are unique in view of excellent halftone printability and common application on both polyester and BOPP. Unilam Inks are easy to manage under varying conditions. Excellent adhesive lamination characteristic are achieved and prints can be laminated to polyethylene, aluminum foil, paper or board to satisfy the needs of a variety of packaging applications.

UNILAM INKS offer excellent adhesion on BOPP (Plain corona treated at minimum 38 dynes-PCT) and polyester (plain untreated, unprimed) film. Even though the inks give good adhesion on both treated (38 dynes) and lowly treated side of BOPP film, it is advisable to print on the treated side achieve better lamination results. For polyester film, printing can be done on either side.

STARLAM
(A new generation Lamination inks common for polyester & BOPP)

STARLAM is a range of low odour lamination inks having high bond strength and specifically formulated for reverse printing on treated BOPP and untreated, unprimed plain polyester film.

Laminates printed with STARLAM have a wide range of application in packaging. The low odour and low solvent retention characteristics make it particularly suitable for the packaging of food products e.g. Coffee, Biscuits, Snack Foods, Confectionary etc.

High bond characteristics of STARLAM make it suitable for polyester laminates to pack liquids and heavy weight materials.

FEATURES

The unique features of STARLAM have been designed to meet the stringent requirements of the laminated packaging employing and BOPP substrates.

• Low odour in BOPP making it exclusive for food packaging.
• Low solvent retention.
• High lamination bond in Polyester.
• Good adhesion.
• Improved printability and tonal reproduction, particularly at higher printing speeds.
• High colour strength.

A key temperature of 60-70.C (web) is normally sufficient. However, the actual temperature can vary with substrate, process, press conditions and printing speed.

 

MAXTONE
(Gravure Paper Ink)

MAXTONE is a range of inks for Gravure printing on paper substrates that are used for packaging and related applications.

Different varieties on ink MAXTONE range are available for various resistance property requirement of print.

CELLACOAT
(Alcohol Gravure Paper Ink)

CELLACOAT is the name given to the various ranges of nitrocellulose derived flexographic and Gravure inks for printing paper substrates that are used for packaging and related applications.

Different variety of CELLSCOAT range is available for various resistance properties of printed specimen.
The specially selected solvents and resin system make the CELLACOAT inks printer friendly for ease of printing.
