Ultrachem press room chemicals gets a thumbs up from the print industry

Ultrachem manufactures UV inks which are Nestle compliant, water-based coatings and UV lacquers at its unit in Leeds, UK. The company entered the Indian market in 2009 under the leadership of Sharma. "The technical demands of the print industry in India are increasing. Ultrachem provides chemicals that meet FOGRA approval for Heidelberg, Manroland, Baldwin and KBA specifications," said Sharma.

Besides Ultrachem, AIC also represents Abudawood Industrial of Saudi Arabia for its product, Mirfic coatings and varnishes.

With over 120 customers in India, AIC is poised to gain momentum in the print market and according to Sharma AIC products range can be an added advantage for the printers. "Our wide-range of products include international standard food grade coating; varnishes for offset, flexo, gravure, offline or inline, water-based and UV. We have the capacity to service all the coating needs  of a printer; from high gloss to full matt finishes, functional barrier coatings, and many more."

Ultrachem has a product range of 1,000 different pressroom chemicals where as Mirific has a range of 2,000. "It is the combination of these two through which AIC will serve the best pressroom chemistry to the Indian printers," concluded Sharma.

AIC India will be present at Ultrachem stand during the Ipex 2010 at stand D-459.
