Technical overview
Unitone US 100, Unitone US 110 and Unitone US 500 are cyclohexanone-aldehyde resins used as auxiliary binders or modifiers in compatible inks and lacquers. Melting point and viscosity help distinguish the grades; solubility and compatibility must then be checked with the main binder, pigment and solvent package. Our technical team can help identify a suitable starting grade for application trials.
Selection considerations
- Role in the formulationUnitone grades serve as auxiliary binders or modifying resins for compatible inks and lacquers.
- Selection dataMelting point and viscosity provide the first distinction between grades.
- ApplicationsThe range serves flexographic, gravure and screen inks, lacquers and selected ballpoint formulations.
Ketonic resin technical information
What is ketonic resin?
Ketonic resin is a synthetic cyclohexanone-aldehyde resin used as an auxiliary binder or modifier in compatible formulations. The terms ketonic resin, synthetic ketonic resin and ketone resin are often used for this product type. Unitone grades are distinguished by melting point, viscosity and supplied appearance, followed by solubility and compatibility testing in the complete system.
What are the main uses of ketonic resin?
Ketonic resin uses include flexographic, gravure and screen inks, lacquers, nitrocellulose-based coatings and selected ballpoint inks. In an ink or lacquer it is evaluated with the primary binder, pigment, plasticiser and solvent package. Its contribution to gloss, wetting, hardness or film behaviour depends on compatibility and the complete formulation rather than the resin alone.
How are Unitone ketonic resin grades selected?
Melting point and supplied viscosity provide the first comparison between Unitone US 100, US 110 and US 500. The form, solvent package and intended application then narrow the choice. The selected grade should be dissolved at the intended concentration and tested with the primary binder, pigment and additives for solution stability, print behaviour and finished-film performance.
Which Unitone grades are used in printing inks and lacquers?
Unitone US 100 and US 110 are listed for flexographic and gravure inks and lacquers; US 100 also serves selected nitrocellulose-based coatings and screen inks. Unitone US 500 is used in ballpoint inks, lacquers and other printing-ink trials. The grade table should be reviewed because the listed melting-point and viscosity ranges differ.
Is ketone resin different from ketonic resin?
In commercial ink and coating discussions, ketone resin is commonly used as a close name for synthetic ketonic resin. On this website, the verified Unitone products are described as cyclohexanone-aldehyde ketonic resins. The exact chemistry and grade specification should be confirmed rather than assuming that every product sold under a broad ketone-resin label is interchangeable.
Does Uniform Synthetics supply Unitone ketonic resin outside India?
Uniform Synthetics supplies Unitone grades from India to customers in domestic and established international markets. As the ketonic resin manufacturer and supplier for the grades shown here, the company can confirm current availability, packaging, sample quantities and product documents for the selected grade and destination.
What information helps with a ketonic resin sample request?
Provide the ink, lacquer or coating type, main binder, solvent blend, pigment, target viscosity, melting-point preference and required film tests. A current benchmark is useful where available. This information helps the technical team identify a suitable Unitone starting grade and provide the appropriate current technical document or sample for laboratory evaluation.
