Silko® products are
Silko® products are silicone emulsions for heatset printing which are applied on the printed paper web in order to protect the same and to improve its gliding properties.
Due to our in-house production facility of silicone emulsions we are able to process and combine silicone oils of different viscosities.This means we can combine the positive effects of different oils in our Silko® products.
Our fully automated production allows us to change the recipe of the Silko® products quickly and individually and adjust them perfectly to the conditions on site. Our large storage capacities guarantee a maximum reliability of production and delivery for Silko® products.
All our Silko® slip emulsions are available in different variations and with solid contents of at least 4% and up to 60%.
This is what Silko® stands for
