What we do in this sector
Preservatives are crucial for maintaining water-based printing inks and fountain solutions. Regular monitoring of pH levels and viscosity is essential for print quality. THOR's Acticide® systems control bioburden, preventing issues like colour inconsistency, smudging, and nozzle clogging, which can lead to costly repairs.
THOR's Acticide® preservatives also offer environmental benefits. Water-based inks and solutions emit fewer VOCs and are easier to clean up than solvent-based ones. Proper use of THOR's Acticide® products prevents microbial spoilage, reducing waste and the need for frequent replacements. This minimizes the environmental impact of printing and enhances operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Aflammit® brand flame retardants enhance the fire resistance of your printed materials, reducing flammability and providing safety in fire-prone environments. Together, they offer a robust solution for maintaining the quality and safety of your printing products.
