Lubrizol combines decades of expertise in pigment dispersion and polymer technology with in-depth knowledge of formulation to deliver digital print solutions that are customized to meet a variety of high-performance demands on a wide range of surfaces including film, textiles and paper. Show attendees are invited to the booth to learn about Lubrizol’s Solsperse hyperdispersants and PrintRite portfolio of ink-receptive coatings.

We are prepared to demonstrate our products’ genuinely competitive advantages, and we know Expo attendees will appreciate our technical expertise and ability to customize to their unique needs.”
