Applications in Graphic Arts
Esti Chem has a strong foothold in raw materials for application in products for the graphic arts industry. We offer a wide range of materials for application in pressroom products and printing inks.
Fountain Solutions
Foam formation in fountain solutions is a common issue during the printing process due to agitation and aeration.
This foam, caused by trapped air forming bubbles, can lead to problems like reduced ink transfer, uneven ink distribution, dot gain, and poor print quality. It can also cause equipment malfunctions such as blockages in the dampening system and plate clogging.
Esti Chem offers silicone oil-free defoamers for application in fountain solutions.
Cleaning agents
The graphic arts industry has widely adopted ESTISOL®, ESTISURF®, and DEFOAMER products for safer and more effective cleaning formulations for print shops.
These products, including ester solvents, surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and silicone oil-free defoamers, offer excellent performance and health & safety benefits compared with conventional raw materials.

Printing Inks
For over 25 years, ESTISOL® fatty acid esters have been used as solvents in lithographic printing inks.
These esters, derived from natural fatty acids, serve as base oils or as alternatives to traditional solvents, enhancing technical benefits such as gloss and the sustainability profile of the ink such as the bio-carbon content.
ESTISOL® esters are versatile non-VOC solvents applied in cold-set & heat-set inks, particularly in food packaging applications.
