Manalox 310™
This proprietary aluminum chelate complex has been formulated as a gelling agent for lithographic printing ink vehicles, and is provided as a convenient solution in high-boiling ink oil solvent.
Extremely stable under high temperature conditions, Manalox 310 is anideal gellant for varnishes cooked at temperatures ranging from 160 – 200°C.
Capable of achieving very high viscosity at low aluminum content, Manalox 310 has a slow rate of reactivity that permits addition to many varnishes at high temperatures.
Manalox 310 does not produce any byproduct alcohols during the gelling reaction.
