DeCAL 4214
- CASE Ingredients Features
- Excellent Ink Transfer
DeCAL 4214 is a waterborne transfer additive for flexographic inks. It improves definition by controlling the ink film weight. The addition level, usually between 2-4% as supplied on the total formulation, is determined by the pigments, binders, and machine characteristics. DeCAL 4214 also enhances the clean-down process on the press by increasing the open time.

Whilst DeCAL 4214 is an extremely stable product it is recommended that it is protected from frost.
- Application Methods
An acrylic grinding media such as DeCAL 4286 and water should be mixed and ground with pigment until a fine dispersion is formed. The remaining ingredients are then added and mixed well to form a homogenous pigment concentrate.. DeCAL 4214 does not assist pigment dispersion so should not be added in the grind, only at the let down stage.
