Ketone resin, also known as polyketone resin, ketone resin or ketone-aldehyde resin, is a condensation product of cyclohexanone and formaldehyde containing carbonyl and hydroxyl groups.

It can be used for many industries. Hereby pls check some usages as follows;

Ink
In printing inks such as laminated inks, gravure inks, surface printing inks, flexographic inks, security inks, and ballpoint pen inks, adding ketone resins (2-15% in ink formulations) can improve the wettability, shine, adhesion, printability, solid content, and drying time of pigments.

Ketone resin can solve the problem of poor adhesion of substrates such as PE, PP, PET and PVC, and can also improve the fluidity and adhesion of ball point pen ink. It can also be used in food packaging ink.

Paint and Coating
Ketone resins can be used as co-adhesives for paints, varnishes, printing inks and other inks. Not only do they increase solids content and speed up drying, but they also improve many properties such as hardness, shine and film formation. Increased adhesion on various substrates, coupled with its resistance to hydrolysis, enhances anti-corrosion properties.

In coating formulations, ketone resins can give products high hardness, gloss and flexibility. At the same time can reduce viscosity, reduce pitting corrosion, improve adhesion, leveling and solid content. Suitable for the production of hammer paint, nitrocellurocellulocular paint, such as mechanical paint, wood paint and transparent stable color paint.

Adhesive

It is ideal for making nitrocellulose adhesives that can be used for leather, paper and other similar materials
