  • MICA Primers for Ink Adhesion

Pre-Print and Reverse Print
Ink Adhesion Primers

Water-based products that improve adhesion between
a variety of inks and all common substrates and extrudates.

Our water-based ink adhesion primers can help modify the surface of films, paper, foil, glass, and non-woven materials to improve ink receptivity. Many products can also promote the adhesion of printed film to another substrate or extrudate in reverse-print applications. Our primers work with a variety of ink chemistries, including nitrocellulose (NC), digital, inkjet, UV, and bio-based.

Need assistance selecting the perfect ink adhesion primer for your application, or have a question about one of our products? Contact us. Our team of experts is standing by to help.

Key Attributes of
Ink Adhesion Primers

Water-Based
In 1971, we were among the first to introduce a water-based primer to the flexible packaging industry. Today, we are the global leader in water-based primers, coatings and adhesion promoters.
Ink-Receptive

These products are suitable for use as a pre-print primer to help with ink-receptivity and adhesion promotion.

Water Resistant

When crosslinked, some of our ink adhesion primers can help provide water-resistance properties.

Optically Clear
Many MICA primers can help keep brand colors and identity intact, and reduce haze in clear film applications.
