High-Gloss Ink Receptive Boehmite

Catalog No.: JYS-1012     CAS: 1318-23-6     EINECS: 215-284-3

Solution grade for Medical Imaging Films, Premium Photo Paper & Fine Art Media.

Best Fit For

Imaging coating formulators who need high gloss + low haze without sacrificing color density, clarity, and coating strength, especially in medical imaging films and premium glossy media.

What We’re Solving

• Gloss looks dull / haze causes “milky” appearance

• Fine details look soft (poor edge definition)

• High gloss causes unstable ink absorption or uneven drying

• Coatings scratch easily or wrinkle during converting

KPI Targets

• High Gloss (brighter, vivid appearance)

• Low Haze / Clear Images (diagnostic clarity / photo clarity)

• Fine Detail Reproduction (sharpness, edge definition)

• Stable Color Density

• Coating Strength & Wrinkle Resistance for processing

Coating-System / Mechanism

JYS-1012 is engineered as a dispersible boehmite for premium imaging coatings, enabling optical performance tuning for high gloss + low haze, balanced ink absorption for stable ink uptake without haze penalty, and binder/additive compatibility for stable dispersion and coating uniformity. Think of it as a material choice for the top/ink-receiving layer where surface micro-texture and optical scattering control directly drive gloss and haze.

Recommended Applications

• Medical Imaging Films (Primary): X-ray and diagnostic imaging outputs

• Premium glossy inkjet photo paper / RC paper

• High-end inkjet canvas & art papers (gloss / semi-gloss finishes)

Engineering Notes

• Designed for premium imaging coatings where gloss/haze are critical

• Works well in systems requiring balanced absorption + optical clarity

• Dispersible grade with broad compatibility with common binders/additives

Recommended Use Range

• Recommended solid content in coating: 5–20% (system-dependent)
• Typical addition level: 10–40% of pigment portion
• Target coating weight: 4–12 g/m² for premium imaging media
• Best results when surface smoothness and optical clarity are prioritized (gloss/low haze).

Note: values are for reference only and should be validated per substrate/ink system.

Key Technical Indicators （Customization Available）

Proof & Typical Results

Typical improvement directions

In imaging-grade coating systems, JYS-1012 is typically associated with:

• higher surface gloss with reduced haze tendency

• improved image clarity and detail reproduction

• stable Color Density without sacrificing optical cleanliness

How customers validate

Most teams validate performance using:

• gloss (60°/75°), haze

• Color Density / gamut

• sharpness / dot gain (test patterns)

• rub/scratch resistance for converting suitability

Optimization notes

Performance depends strongly on coating structure. Best results are often achieved when:

• JYS-1012 is positioned as a top optical layer pigment

• absorption is balanced by ink-receiving layer design (single or multi-layer)

• coat weight is optimized to achieve target gloss/haze at efficient loading
