Tatly Ink TR-100 Reducer

The Tatly Ink TR-100 Reducer is an essential solvent additive formulated for use with the Tatly Ink flexographic system. It is specifically designed to control the ink's viscosity and evaporation rate, ensuring optimal flow and transfer characteristics during high-speed printing.
Key Performance and Compliance Highlights:

  • Viscosity Control: The primary function is to lower the viscosity of the ink mixture, allowing for precise adjustment to match the substrate, press speed, and anilox roller specifications.

  • Improves Flow and Transfer: By slightly thinning the ink, the TR-100 ensures smoother flow through the press, resulting in cleaner print detail and better ink transfer to the substrate.

  • Manages Drying Time: The reducer acts as a slower-evaporating solvent component, helping to prevent premature drying of the ink on the anilox roller or printing plates. This is crucial for maintaining consistent print quality, especially in warmer production environments.

  • Enhances Printability: Proper use of the TR-100 minimizes defects such as pinholing, streaking, and plate wear, leading to reduced downtime and less material waste.

Application Note:

The TR-100 Reducer should be added gradually and measured precisely, as adding too much can negatively impact the ink’s color density, adhesion, and final cure properties. Always refer to the specific technical data sheet for recommended starting ratios.
