Market Definition.

According to the National Association of Printing Ink Manufacturers, “Ink additives are chemicals that play a vital role in the formulation of inks by enhancing its physical properties. These additives maintain viscosity and improve wetting of both the substrate and pigment. They also help the ink to run smoothly on the substrate. The high requirement for good wetting, surface protection, and defoaming with good pigment stabilization along with other physical properties make ink additives suitable in applications such as packaging, publishing, and printing.
