Gilsonite for Ink use
Gilsonite is used as a natural petroleum product in the ink production process as a wetting agent for carbon black for the kind of ink that is used in black news ink and in heat set ink which is used in laser printers too.
Normally 2% to 5% of the finished ink formula would be from Gilsonite and normally in production lines big factories that are producing offset printing inks will use 10% to 15% from Gilsonite in their production process.
Gilsonite resin will bind the pigments to the paper and one of the most important reasons for using gilsonite in ink industry productions is its resin application.
this specification of Gilsonite will avoid from dispersing of carbon black on paper and high gloss papers.
We are producing Gilsonite ink grade in powder mode with a mesh size of 200 microns from high-quality filtrated Gilsonite and packing would be 25 kg 2-ply bags with pallets or without pallets following of client order or 1000 kg jumbo bags.
