Additional Information

Most resistances are determined by the appropriate selection of Gecko Base concentrates and the properties of the pigments they contain. Other physical properties are determined by the colour series.

 

The weather resistance of printed materials during outdoor storage depends not only on the choice of ink, but also on a number of other parameters. Therefore, we recommend testing the resistances under the specific conditions of the final application.

 

Only weather-resistant pigments according to our Technical Information may be used for the Gecko Base System. If the standard cyan pigment (PB 15:4) is used for printing on packaging for compost or garden soil, special care should be taken to avoid the risk of pigment degradation.

 

Available as ready-to-use inks or as a dosing recipe in a mixing system, these inks are produced from the monopigmented Gecko Base concentrates and the Gecko Storm system additive.
