Fountain solution additives

Fountain solution additives of LUMINTU CHEMICAL have set standards for process reliability in offset printing with modern highly productive sheet-fed and web offset presses in recent years. In particular, they help reduce the isopropyl alcohol used in fountain solution or even allow IPA-free printing. Our fountain solution provide quick clearing of printing plates, fast and stable ink-/water balance at low water flow and are optimised for protection of plates and reduction of microbial contamination of the system.
