Inks

At TotalEnergies we believe the only thing printing inks should emit is perfect colours, and not potentially harmful chemicals later in the lifecycle of the ink product. Our Scriptane range of ink distillates offers highly refined hydrocarbon fluids designed to make your colours brighter and your inks safer.

There are two product groups under the Scriptane brand. Scriptane PW is intended for the formulation of heatset inks for sheetfed and offset printing presses.

Also see our Spirdane range of high quality white spirits and our Ketrul range of kerosene-based products for cleaning fluids that are ideal for the printing industry.

Products for heatset ink formulation: Scriptane PW 24/27H, PW 25/28H and PW 26/29H.
Products for sheetfed printing: Scriptane PW 25/33H and PW 28/32H.
Products for coldset ink formulation: Scriptane PW 30/35H.
