Super 36 ECOBRITE Base Black is a VOC-free dispersion of 36% offset-grade, glossy carbon black. Super 36 ECOBRITE base can be used for such purposes as high adhesion inks for plastic surfaces and also for folding box inks in addition to ecologically sound publication and commercial offset formulations. Super 36 ECOBRITE is also very suitable for any no heat web offset formulation and can be made laser-compatible with the addition of a very small amount of metallic drier. Product viscosity is relatively low, meaning that inks can be made easily using lower-power mixing equipment.

Super 36 ECOBRITE base forms the backbone of all of Kerley's "EcoBrite" VOC-free black sheetfed inks. All of the oil-based portion of Super 36 ECOBRITE is drier-reactive, meaning that all of Super 36 ECOBRITE will polymerize quickly to a solid film, provided driers are added and the printed film is exposed to adequate air. Super 36 ECOBRITE has very aggressive drying characteristics. Keep this base covered against air. Use skin papers for storage. Since there is Tung Oil (Chinawood Oil) in Super 36 ECOBRITE, it cannot be guaranteed against self-oxidation when stored uncovered for periods of more than 30 days.
