ADMTronics has announced the availability of a highly versatile aqueous additive, Polaqua© AD, specially formulated to enhance the performance of virtually any water-based ink, paint, adhesive, coating or resin. With only minor additions of product to a given liquid, the flow, lay down, wet-out and many other characteristics become greatly improved. The product's high lubricity also allows enhanced pumping of any liquid from water and pigment slurries.
