Polyamide Resin for Inks

Unimide resin are dimer fatty acid based polyamide resin, It is mainly known as Alcohol or co-solvent soluble Polyamide resin. Some of the grades have good Low temperature Gel Resistance. It can also be blended with small amounts of spirit soluble NC to improve the hardness and resistance properties of inks. The solutions form reversible gels on standing. We do manufacture grades for special application for having tape test passed on Untreated HDPE and PP Substrate.
