● Fountain Solution & Additives 
 
   ASTRO MARK 3 ・ ASTRO MARK 3 PLUS
 
ASTRO MARK 3 has been used and preferred as all-time favorite by many users and press manufacturers worldwide. Runs alcohol-free with soft to medium water on all press sizes and dampening systems. *ASTRO MARK 3 PLUS is designed to enhance dampening rate as well as to provide wider latitude in the ink and water balance to ease the way to print without alcohol or alcohol substitutes.
 
   ASTRO MARK 10 ・ ASTRO MARK 10 PLUS
 
ASTRO MARK 10 runs alcohol-free in one step with all types of water. Excellent compatibility with UV inks. Keeps non-image areas clean and opens dots for longer press runs. Runs conventional metal, CTP thermal and violet plates without risk of affecting plate image. * ASTRO MARK 10 PLUS is designed to enhance dampening rate as well as to provide wider latitude in the ink and water balance to ease the way to print without alcohol or alcohol substitutes.
 
   ASTRO MARK 20
 
ASTRO MARK 20 is a complete one step fountain solution concentrate that runs alcohol-free on all sizes of sheet-fed printing presses providing optimum quality & performance for all types of water and inks including 100% soybean oil-based ink, gold & silver, metallic and UV inks.

   ASTRO NON-VOC
 
Taking over the features & benefits of ASTRO series fountain solution, ASTRO NON-VOC is a VOC-free and one step fountain solution that runs alcohol-free on all sizes of sheet-fed printing presses promoting strong desensitizing to keep plate's non-image area clean for long run. It contributes to environmental load reduction.
 
   ASTRO MARK CB
 
ASTRO MARK CB runs alcohol-free on all sizes of sheet-fed printing presses and is designed to merge calcium component eluted from such as the printing paper and transform to water-soluble substance. It blockades the calcium and prevents from depositing onto the inking-roller which causes roller stripping by glaze build ups. ASTRO MARK CB is the solution to the calcium issues.
 
   ASTRO WEB
 
ASTRO WEB is a one-step alcohol-free fountain solution for heatset web presses. Designed to run alcohol-free with soft to medium water. The essential of successful alcohol-free printing is the quantitative control of fountain solution dilution.
 
   ASTRO WEB-8000 ・ ASTRO WEB-8000 PLUS
 
ASTRO WEB8000 is a one-step alcohol-free fountain solution for heatset web presses. Excellent compatibility with UV inks. Longer press run without risk of affecting to CTP thermal plates. *ASTRO WEB8000 PLUS is designed to enhance dampening rate as well as to provide wider latitude in the ink and water balance to ease the way to print without alcohol or alcohol substitutes.

   ASTRO WEB-NV
 
ASTRO WEB-NV is a VOC-free and one step fountain solution concentrate that runs alcohol-free on heatset web presses promoting strong desensitizing to keep plate's non-image area clean for long run. It contributes to environmental load reduction.
 
   ASTRO WEB-CB
 
ASTRO WEB CB runs alcohol-free on heatset web presses. Designed to merge calcium component eluted from such as the printing paper and transform to water-soluble substance. It blockades the calcium and prevents from depositing onto the inking-roller which causes roller stripping by glaze build ups. ASTRO WEB CB is the solution to the calcium issues.
 
   PP CELAN H
 
Ferro cyanide-free and environmentally friendly etch & fountain solution designed for small presses using electrostatic, laser direct and metal plates. Highly concentrated (20 - 30 parts water) and economical to use.
 
   PP CLEAN H-AD
 
PP CLEAN H AD is an upgraded version of PP CLEAN H designed for small presses with continuous dampening systems. Taking over the features & benefits of PP Clean H, PP Clean H AD does not contain Ferro cyanide and environmentally friendly. Highly concentrated (20 - 30 parts water) and economical to use.
●TOP 
   PP CLEAN H-WETTY
 
Suitable with laser direct plates protecting the plate surface from drying during press stoppages (for a short period of time). It does not contain Ferro cyanide and environmentally friendly. Highly concentrated (20 - 40 parts water) and economical to use.
 
   HYDRO FRESH
 
Prevents dampening recirculation tank from the growth of bacteria and fungi. May also extend the life of dampener covers and sleeves when used with conventional molleton dampening system. Essential for alcohol free printing to maintain dampening recirculation tank in prime condition especially in wet and hot season.
 
   FOUNTAIN DRYER
 
Can be added as needed to the press dampening solution to promote ink drying. It provides the maximum effects only with 0.2 - 0.5% dosage in the dampening solution. Promotes oxidation polymerization of ink and accelerates drying.
 
   FOAM OUT
 
Defoamer agent to be added in fountain solutions. It controls the foaming and provides wetting effects evenly in fountain solutions. It contains no chemicals listed in PRTR (Pollutant Release and Transfer Register) Regulation and Organic Solvent Poisoning Preventive Rule.
 
   ASTROL
 


Alcohol replacement for use on presses requiring additional wetting and dampening efficiency. Best use with all Nikken's Astro series fountain solutions. It provides better water and ink balance by increasing its viscosity and controls the surface tension of fountain solution.
