- Usage Recommendations
The alkalizing ALCALOX-AMINE acts on paints by raising their pH. The product has no smell and it is not toxic. ALCALOX-AMINE was developed to replace ammonia, which, in addition to having a unpleasant smell, it is a controlled product. Can be used on any type of water-based paint, when necessary, increase its pH.

The ideal dosage must be found through previous laboratory tests and varies according to components and ink type. However, it was observed that the most recommended dosages can go from 0.10% to 0.60% of the total ink.
