Silicone emulsion
The product WEKO-S1 is a silicone emulsion product specially developed for use on high-speed water-based inkjet presses. The application can reliably protect the not yet completely dried ink on the paper web in finishing lines from smearing or even blocking. In addition, the use of WEKO-S1 can prevent ink abrasion or damage to the printed paper surfaces in finishing processes (e.g. cutting and folding machines).
Application
The product must be diluted with water before application to the printed paper web. Application concentrations should be in the range of 5 % - 20 %. Overdosing should be avoided due to the risk of discoloration. The coated paper web should be further processed within 24 hours. The product is compatible with stainless steel, chrome, ceramic, PE and PP. The WEKO-DigiCon with integrated or retrofitted WEKO-SiliCon is perfectly suited to apply the diluted solution. WEKO offers different container sizes on request.
With the WEKO system, you have an absolutely reliable unit that provides precise and consistent liquid application with absolute accuracy. Your process is repeatable and provides you with a stable quality for your daily production flow.
WEKO-S1 applied with WEKO-DigiCon optimizes product quality and improves the efficiency of your continuous digital printing and finishing.
A very uniform and precise fluid application by the WEKO-DigiCon conditions the paper, compensates for paper fluctuations and ensures optimal production. Therefore, not only perfect running and stacking properties are produced, but also dimensional stability for optimal flatness of the paper.
This leads to smooth production processes, less waste and a significant improvement in product quality and further processing.
