Slip emulsion for the use in offset printing
Silko® products are
Our newly developed Silko® PF product range is an O/W formulation based on PDMS. In combination with scuff protection additives, it offers exceptionally good protection on the paper web. A new type of plastic-free scuff protection is used here. The release of microplastics into the environment can thus be avoided. Furthermore, our silicone emulsions are all label-free.
Silko® PF gives the paper web good anti-blocking and slip properties. This makes it more resistant to mechanical stress. Especially in the heatset, good rewetting of the paper webs is achieved. The silicone emulsions are available in concentrations of 15-60 %. The recommended dosage is 5-20 %.
