• RFID/conductive inks;

• Polyurethane chemistry for solvent-based applications.

Pettifor—Converters are demanding higher quality and productivity. Much of our research is going into producing inks that will perform on new, higher-speed presses and offer improved consistency and color strength. Due to rising costs and scarcity of some materials, we also have had to reformulate inks using alternative materials. Finding materials that result in quality inks which can match or exceed current offerings is a daunting task. One of our major efforts for core R&D is to manufacture products that offer our converter customers competitive advantage through better environmental credentials that meet today’s requirements for sustainable products.
