The “Invisible Buff” of the Ink World! Why Are Printing Experts Thrilled About IOTA-170 Modified Silicone Oil?

Tired of those pesky issues in ink printing—like excessive bubbles, tackiness, or poor scratch resistance? Now there’s a true “all-rounder” in the world of modified silicone oils: IOTA-170, specifically designed to tackle these challenges and deliver a smooth, flawless printing experience.

Structure Defines Performance
Traditional silicone oils have methyl or phenyl side chains, relying heavily on their structure for fluidity.
IOTA-170, on the other hand, features acrylate side chains—like adding “tiny wheels” to the molecule—greatly enhancing flow and defoaming performance, while also forming an invisible anti-blocking protective film.

Three Key Advantages

Flow + Defoaming in One: Works like a lubricant for ink, ensuring smooth printing without clogging while efficiently eliminating bubbles for a flatter surface.
Anti-blocking Technology: Printed surfaces don’t stick to hands or backing—no more damage during stacking or transport.
Scratch & Marker Resistance: The surface behaves like it’s armored with an invisible shield—resistant to fingernail scratches and permanent markers.

Ideal Application Scenarios

Offset printing inks: Troubles with bubbles or blocking? Add 0.1–1.5% to significantly boost printing efficiency and surface quality.
UV curing inks / overprint varnishes: Worried about bubbles during UV curing? At 0.1–1.0% usage, it provides excellent defoaming and scratch resistance for a premium finish.
Screen printing inks: Thick layers prone to tackiness? Add 0.1–2.0% to enhance anti-blocking and flow for refined, detailed printing.

Technical Specifications

Appearance: Light yellow transparent liquid (clean, impurity-free, easy to blend)
Active content: 99.9% (high purity, stable performance)
Viscosity: 60–150 cP (low viscosity for easy handling and improved flow)
Refractive index: 1.4013–1.4106 (high compatibility with ink systems, maintains clarity in transparent formulas)

Usage Tips

Stir well before use—whether used directly or diluted, even dispersion ensures optimal performance.
Pre-dilution recommended: Use suitable solvents; applicable during grinding or clear coating stages. High shear or pre-dilution improves results.
Packaging: Available in 25 kg plastic drums or 200 kg steel drums. Non-hazardous for storage and transport; store in a cool, dry, and ventilated place.

From bubbles and blocking to scratch resistance, IOTA-170 easily handles what traditional silicone oils can’t. Already trusted by printing houses, ink formulators, and cosmetic packaging manufacturers—apply it according to your needs and watch your production quality soar!
