BergaSolv EHL
BergaSolv EHL is a 2-ethylhexyl laurate. This ester of lauric acid is used as a natural solvent in printing inks. It increases the adhesion of the printing ink to the surface and thus ensures a more even print image. It can reduce drying of the ink during the printing process. In lubricants, it contributes to oxidation stability, thereby extending the life of the lubricants. It also provides a degree of corrosion protection in cutting oils.
