PRINTLAC High-gloss
10 L 9560
Range of application
This product is an oil-based varnish with a very high degree of gloss that stands out thanks to its
very quick setting and short oxidative drying characteristics. As a result, the length of time before
the print sheets can be further processed (converted) is shortened.
Thanks to its rheological properties, PRINTLAC 10 L 9560 is equally suitable for wet-on-wet and
wet-on-dry varnishing.
Due to its quick setting characteristics, the product is of only limited suitability for perfecting.
This high-gloss varnish can be used either with or without fount solution.
Contact yellowing cannot be completely ruled out when printing varnishes are used. This is caused
by volatile, yellowish coloured decomposition products being formed during oxidative drying; these
products can be deposited in the paper coating or even react chemically with constituents of the
coating.
By conducting extensive development work, however, we have succeeded in greatly reducing the
level of unfortunately unavoidable yellowing and in producing print results that are as good as free
of yellowing considering an oil-based varnishing system has been used.

Special remarks
Note should be taken of the following when using print varnishes:
In contrast with dispersion coatings and UV coatings, print varnishes are comparatively slowdrying. The mechanism of oxidative drying, which produces stable coating films in print varnishes as a result of the cross-linking of fatty acid chains, can occupy several hours or even
days, depending on the drying conditions. Drying can be accelerated by the use of IR radiators.
However, pile temperatures of more than 35 C must always be avoided as there is a risk of
blocking. The use of inks in pre-printing that stay fresh can result in the delaying of varnish
drying, especially on papers with low absorption capacity.
Contact yellowing cannot be completely ruled out when print varnishes are used. The cause
of this is that volatile, yellowish coloured fission products are formed during oxidative drying;
these products can be deposited in the paper coating or even react chemically with constituents
of the coating.
Standard print varnishes are not suitable for finishing food packaging. The fission products
necessarily formed as part of the oxidative drying process can affect the smell and taste of the
contents which prohibits their use.
Printing additives
The specified print varnish is ready for printing and can normally be used without the help of additives. If in exceptional cases it is necessary to reduce the tack for papers that are particularly
susceptible to picking, Linseed Oil/Printing Oil 1405 should be used.
