Resposta rápida: compradores escolhendo additives for waterborne inkjet inks usually get a better first shortlist when they separate três empregos diferentes early instead of asking one additive to rescue every print-side symptom at once. Start with CHLUMIWE® 2100 when the waterborne inkjet ink still needs stronger molhamento do substrato, spread, and lower-surface-tension entry on film, coated paper, or another difficult surface. Move CHLUMIAG® 3501 forward when the ink already lays down directionally but the dried print still needs anti-sticking, release, or downstream handling control. Start with CHLUMIAF® 3062 when the real bottleneck is foam, microbubbles, or entrained air in a waterborne inkjet route.
This page stays inside the redirected CHLUMICRYL® Aditivos para tintas e revestimentos direction and does not fall back to the older photoinitiator cluster. It also is not a duplicate of Longchang’s already-live inkjet ink additives page, which covers a broader chemistry window across UV, solvent, and water-based systems. The buyer question here is narrower: which additive deserves the first trial when the ink is specifically waterborne, printed by industrial inkjet, and still not giving a commercially stable result on the target surface?
Why waterborne inkjet inks deserve their own additive page
A waterborne inkjet ink sits in a tighter buyer lane than a broad inkjet article because the formulation has to keep together water-based process behavior, droplet laydown on the target surface, e dried-print handling after deposition. A drawdown can look acceptable while the live print job still fails commercially because the ink does not wet the surface cleanly, the printed face still shows tack or drag after drying, or the process keeps carrying air into the system.
That makes waterborne inkjet a cleaner application split than another generic print page. Buyers often need to separate a surface-entry problem, um dried-print handling probleme um foam or air-management problem before they can judge the rest of the package honestly. Those are different first screens, even when one print trial appears to show all three symptoms together.
General industry framing supports that split conservatively. Waterborne inkjet systems are commonly judged by how cleanly they wet the target substrate, whether the dried print can tolerate later contact or handling, and whether bubbles or entrained air disturb print consistency. The product-specific facts below still stay tied to current Longchang-supported product pages.
What the current company-supported evidence actually separates
- CHLUMIWE® 2100 is supported by Longchang for tintas de impressão, vernizes de sobreimpressão, e tintas para impressoras jato de tinta, com uma dosagem recomendada de 0,1% a 1,0%, addition during grinding, stirring, ou after production, optional pre-dilution with water, alcohols, alkanes, or aromatics, and applicability across UV, solvente, e sistemas à base de água. The current public page also states that, with a small amount added, it will não produz espuma estável sob dispersão em alta velocidade.
- CHLUMIAG® 3501 is supported by Longchang as a polissiloxano modificado multicomponente that can be added at any stage or later and used across UV, solvente, e sistemas à base de água. The current product page directly lists tintas de impressão, tintas para impressoras jato de tinta, vernizes de sobreimpressão, revestimentos de liberação, e anti-sticking-agent use.
- CHLUMIAF® 3062 is supported by Longchang as a polissiloxano modificado com poliéter defoamer with a recommended dosage of 0,1% a 0,5% para tintas de impressão, plus applicability across UV, solvente, e sistemas à base de água. The current public page directly positions it as a printing ink defoamer, which is a clean fit when the waterborne inkjet route is being limited by microbubbles or low-foam process stability.
That is enough company-supported separation to build a real B2B buyer page without inventing unsupported jetting, adhesion, or cure-performance claims. The goal is not to claim one additive solves every waterborne inkjet complaint. The goal is to help the buyer choose the first better trial route.
Tabela de comparação rápida: qual rota merece aparecer em primeiro lugar?
| Buyer priority in waterborne inkjet inks | Melhor primeira rota | Por que ele deve ser o primeiro? | Posto de observação principal |
|---|---|---|---|
| The waterborne inkjet ink still hesitates, pulls back, or spreads weakly on film, coated stock, or another difficult substrate | CHLUMIWE® 2100 | The supported route is built around broad ink use, flexible addition timing, and a wetting-first path that stays open to water-based systems | Use it when the first problem is still substrate entry, not when the real complaint starts after drying on the printed face |
| The print already lays down directionally, but the dried face still blocks, drags, or handles poorly during later contact or converting | CHLUMIAG® 3501 | Longchang directly supports it for inkjet-ink use, anti-sticking logic, and broader print-side handling across water-based systems | Do not treat it as a substitute for true wetting correction when the ink still cannot enter the surface cleanly |
| Foam, microbubbles, or entrained air are still corrupting print consistency or final print appearance | CHLUMIAF® 3062 | Longchang directly positions it as a printing-ink defoamer and supports water-based system use | It is a defoaming route, not the first answer to a dried-print handling problem or a missing wetting route |
When CHLUMIWE® 2100 is the better first move
2100 should move first when the waterborne inkjet project still looks like a substrate-entry problem. This is the cleaner starting route when the ink is not spreading or covering the target surface cleanly enough to judge the rest of the package honestly.
That distinction matters because waterborne inkjet teams often see more than one complaint at once. A weakly wetting ink can also look rough or unstable simply because the film never settled correctly on the substrate in the first place. If the surface-entry route is still wrong, later handling or defoaming trials become harder to read.
- Melhor uso na primeira tela: difficult-substrate wetting and spread in waterborne inkjet inks
- Supported dosage window: 0,1% a 1,0% da formulação total
- Principal ponto forte: cleaner surface contact and more interpretable first laydown on difficult substrates
- Atenção principal: keep it as the first move when wetting is the dominant bottleneck, not when the print already lands acceptably and the real complaint starts later
In short, 2100 is the better first move when the question is still how the waterborne inkjet ink meets the substrate.
When CHLUMIAG® 3501 is the better first move
3501 should move ahead first when the ink already lays down directionally but still shows a dried-print handling problem. This route is stronger when the issue is not basic surface entry, but blocking, sticking, drag, release-oriented handling, or later contact pressure on the printed face.
That matters in waterborne inkjet because many jobs are not finished when the droplets first land. Stacking, rewinding, overprint varnish, lamination, or other downstream contact can expose a different additive problem from the original laydown stage. Longchang’s current public page is useful here because 3501 is not positioned only as a narrow coating additive. The supported route keeps together tintas de impressão, tintas para impressoras jato de tinta, vernizes de sobreimpressão, revestimentos de liberação, e anti-sticking use, while staying open across UV, solvente, e sistemas à base de água.
- Melhor uso na primeira tela: anti-sticking, release, and downstream handling control after the waterborne inkjet ink already lays down directionally
- Ajuste do sistema: UV, solvent, and water-based systems on the current public page
- Principal ponto forte: one route that already supports inkjet-ink use plus broader handling logic
- Atenção principal: if the printed film still has obvious wetting failure, 3501 should not be used to hide a problem that still belongs to the 2100 route first
So 3501 is the better first move when the waterborne inkjet project needs a handling-first cleanup route after laydown is already directionally acceptable.
When CHLUMIAF® 3062 is the better first move
3062 should move ahead first when the waterborne inkjet route is being limited by foam, microbubbles, ou entrained air. In those cases, a better wetting route or a better handling route usually will not give the team an honest print read until the process-side bubble pressure is under control.
Longchang’s public product page is direct here. 3062 is positioned as a printing ink defoamer, supports a 0,1% a 0,5% dosage window for printing inks, and remains open to sistemas à base de água. That makes it commercially useful in waterborne inkjet workflows where agitation, circulation, or process handling can keep feeding air into the ink even after a static drawdown looks acceptable.
- Melhor uso na primeira tela: persistent foam, microbubble carry-through, or low-foam process-control problems in waterborne inkjet inks
- Supported dosage window: 0.1% to 0.5% of total formulation for printing inks
- Principal ponto forte: a defoaming route directly tied by Longchang to printing inks and water-based systems
- Atenção principal: it is not a substitute for a true wetting route or a dried-print handling route when those are the real first bottlenecks
This is the stronger first move when the visible defect is being limited by air management, not by missing wetting or missing handling control.
Como os compradores devem escolher antes de solicitar amostras
1. Start with the real first failure in the print trial
If the waterborne inkjet ink still hesitates on the substrate, start with 2100. If the ink already lays down directionally but still handles badly after drying, move 3501 forward. If foam or microbubbles are still corrupting the print read, start with 3062.
2. Keep substrate entry separate from dried-print handling
A waterborne inkjet ink that cannot wet the surface cleanly and a waterborne inkjet ink that prints acceptably but still blocks during later contact are not the same additive problem. Separating those routes early usually makes the first trial set much more honest.
3. Keep foam control separate from both surface routes
Defoaming is not just a smaller version of wetting correction or anti-sticking control. If entrained air is still sitting in the system, it can distort how the team reads every later additive on the print line.
4. Respect the watchpoint, not only the headline benefit
2100 brings a substrate-entry route. 3501 brings a broader anti-sticking and handling route. 3062 brings a direct printing-ink defoaming route. Those practical differences usually decide the better first route more than the additive family name alone.
5. Keep the first trial set small
For many waterborne inkjet buyers, one 2100 wetting route, um 3501 handling routee um 3062 defoaming route teach more than an overloaded first screen filled with partially overlapping additives.

PERGUNTAS FREQUENTES
Which additive should I screen first if a waterborne inkjet ink still is not spreading cleanly?
Usually 2100, because the supported route is built around broad ink-use fit and a wetting-first path that matches a real entry-and-spread problem more directly than a handling or defoaming route.
When should 3501 move ahead of 2100?
3501 should move ahead when the ink already lays down directionally but the dried print still blocks, drags, or handles poorly during later contact, stacking, or converting.
When does 3062 make more sense than the other two?
It makes more sense when foam, microbubbles, or entrained air still dominate the visible defect pattern and the team needs a printing-ink defoamer route rather than another surface-control trial.
Is this page the same as the broader inkjet-ink additives page?
No. The broader inkjet page still answers the wider application question across UV, solvent, and water-based systems. This page is narrower and helps waterborne inkjet buyers decide whether the first bottleneck is substrate entry, dried-print handling, or low-foam process control.
Does this page make food-contact or regulatory claims for packaging work?
No. This page stays focused on additive-selection logic for waterborne inkjet workflows. Any compliance, migration, or final end-use qualification still needs separate formulation and regulatory review.
Próximo passo
If your waterborne inkjet project is stuck between weak substrate entry, dried-print handling pressure, e microbubble or foam pressure, stop treating them as the same additive request. Start with the real bottleneck first. That usually makes the next CHLUMICRYL® sample decision faster and more commercially useful.
