Environmental Resin ER-125 is a hydrocarbon-based resin created by ATDM Gilsonite Company for use in all types of black offset inks. The resin is soluble in aliphatic mineral distillates, comparable with hydrocarbon, phenolic and alkyd resins, and creates varnishes with low and stable viscosities. ER-125 is almost totally pure aliphatic hydrocarbon with less than 0.05 […]

Environmental Resin’s Performance in Low Rub Black Offset Inks INTRODUCTION The development work covered in this article compares the use of ATDM Gilsonite Company’s product, Environmental Resin ER-125, in rub- resistant web offset blacks, versus the Asian and European use of rosin modified phenolics. While phenolic systems are not common in the U.S., they can […]

Gilsonite Resin is composed of a wide variety of different types of hydrocarbon molecules. They may be characterized into two major categories, aliphatics and aromatics. Gilsonite contains approximately 45% to 50% of each. Aliphatics are those hydrocarbons which have the carbon atoms bonded to each other in single bonds. Usually, aliphatics are drawn with the […]
