Jikelele is a NTNK (Non Toluene – Non Ketone) Polyurethane based ink system. Jikelele displays impressive bond strengths which allows for lamination constructions of the highest quality.
Jikelele shows success in retortable packaging, shrink, pasteurization, extrusion lamination as well as standard lamination applications with the use of the correct quality substrate.
Properties
- Excellent printability, high strength and resolubility
- Excellent bond strengths
- Low solvent retention/low odour
- Can run at speeds from 60 to 500 meters per minute
- Suitable for retort and boil in bags
- Extremely stable and excellent reusability feature resulting in less wastage
- Better productivity due to higher press speeds than conventional inks
- Added mileage benefits.
- Low VOC’s
- Low print grammage with increase in bond strengths
