TYTAN™ AP 910

TYTAN™ AP 910

Tytan AP910D is an ethyl citrate zirconium that can be used as an adhesion promoter for printing, crosslinker for paints and as a catalyst for esterification. Due to its chelated structure, Tytan AP910D shows delayed reaction at ambient temperature and thus facilitates storage stability of inks. Compared with organo-titanate adhesion promoters, it shows good compatibility with PVB, CAB and CAP inks and provides minimal discoloration during the sterilizing process in the printing of milk pouches.
As the temperature increases above 60oC, the zirconate can interact with functional groups such as -OH, -COOH, -NH2 in the polymer or substrate.

Description

Diethylcitrate chelated zirconate
Zirconium adhesion promoter is your best choice for package ink

TYTANTM AP910 is an ethyl citrate zirconium that can be formulated as an adhesion promoter for printing inks, crosslinker for paints as well as a catalyst for esterification.

Due to its proprietary chelated structure, Tytan AP910 shows delayed reaction at ambient temperature and thus facilitates storage stability of inks. Compared with organo-titanate adhesion promoters, it shows good compatibility with PVB, CAB and CAP inks and provides minimal discoloration during the sterilizing process in the printing of milk pouches. As the temperature increases above 60oC, the zirconate can interact with functional groups such as -OH, -COOH, -NH2 in the polymer or substrate that have been provided through corona discharge. This crosslinking provides improved adhesion and further crosslinking with similar functional groups within the resin, provide improved resistance properties.

To demonstrate these benefits, TYTANTM AP910 has been evaluated with TYTANTM TAA, AP100 and a competitive ZPP at 2.5% loading in the following standard ink formulation.
