DIC Performance Resins GmbH is optimizing its product portfolio
DIC Performance Resins counts on DENIOS heat chambers in production process
Printing Inks
The use of materials based on renewable resources, such as soy oil for news ink, the reduction of energy costs using UV curing systems, as well as the reduction of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) emissions by applying water based technologies are the leading driving forces of the printing ink industry. Our broad product portfolio helps our customers to meet those needs.
