POLYTONE®
Modified Phenolic Resin
ABOUT POLYTONE® P -Series Rosin Modified Phenolic Resin
POLYTONE® P Series range of resins are Ink Resins and Vehicles. They also find use in coatings applications.
The various grades in the P Series have been developed to offer solutions for a various ink application like Offset, Webset, Sheetfed, Coldfed, Heatset etc. Act as vehicles and facilitate high speed printing in modern machines.
The products are further customizable and variation in the properties if needed can be done.
POLYTONE® P 140/ 141/ 142/ 143/ 144/ 145/ 146 Resins are phenolic modified rosin esters with a range of molecular weights which offers complete viscosity range (low to high). These resins have reactivity to gelling agents and excellent solubility in mineral oils.

POLYTONE® P 140/141/142/143/144/145/146 Resins are phenolic modified rosin esters with a range of molecular weights which offers complete viscosity range (low to high). These resins have reactivity to gelling agents and excellent solubility in mineral oils.
These resins promote fast adhesion and anchorage to substrate and offer gloss. It is ideal for offset inks in heat set and quick set and as modifying resin in flushing. High Melting resins are designed for modern high speed printing equipment.
Its good gel stability makes its an excellent choice to obtain high structure and fast setting in sheet fed inks and provides excellent gloss.
