Pressgum™ 3550 is a water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose. It carries an anionic charge, possesses a low molecular weight, and exhibits a high degree of substitution. The functional benefits of Pressgum 3550 include the ability to formulate plate and fountain solutions with high solid concentrations. This maximizes densensitizing levels while minimizing water usage. Additionally, Pressgum 3550 is functional over a wide pH range, making it suitable for use in both neutral and acidic fountain solutions.
