QSG™ Quickset Gel Vehicle

QSG, or Quick Set Gel vehicle, has been a popular offering from Kerley for several years now. QSG is specially formulated to make high-performance quickset inks for high speed sheetfed presses, where extremely rapid setting must occur while not sacrificing transfer or gloss. QSG is composed of a high-melt gellable phenolic resin, a new-tech modified hydrocarbon resin, plus a high-wetting, tough drying alkyd vehicle. When QSG is used as the sole letdown vehicle in a formula, the ryobiresulting ink will dry to a tack-free state in minutes, but set overnight to a tough finish when metallic drying catalysts like cobalt are used in the ink formula. QSG can also be used in combination with other vehicles. An example of this would be to combine QSG vehicle with QSG FFG Free-Flowing Gel vehicle to produce a quickset ink with more flow but with excellent setting characteristics.
