What is gravure printing? To understand rotogravure printing, a brief primer of intaglio is required. Intaglio is the process used in printing and printmaking in which an image is incised into a surface and where the incised line – or sunken area – holds the ink. There are many applications for intaglio, such as the [...]
Here at Gellner Industrial, we offer a wide range of products to help you with all your vinyl application and printing ink needs. Additionally, Gellner Industrial, LLC is the premier manufacturer of water based acrylic polymers. One of our most popular lines of products is WonderWet.

One of the most popular uses of our amazing acrylic polymer coatings is for adherence to vinyl substrates. Our acrylic polymers are an industry standard in providing superb adhesion to vinyl. Our polymers meet the high alkali resistance required for floor coating and wall coating applications, especially when used on vinyl surfaces. We also produce [...]
Volatile organic compounds – otherwise known as VOCs – are a variety of compounds that are emitted as gases from certain types of solids and liquids. The concentration of VOCs can be particularly high indoors (up to 10x higher than outdoors) and can be emitted from a vast amount of household products. Wax, paints, and [...]
The world of polymers is wide and varied, with many moving parts. There are hundreds of applications for our water based acrylic polymers in a variety of fields. A polymer, simply put, is a macromolecule comprised of many smaller molecules called monomers. These molecules react among themselves chemically to form long chain or three-dimensional networks. [...]
Acrylic polymer, derived from the monomer methyl methacrylate (MMA), was first developed more than 60 years ago. Since then, formulations have extended the material's performance range, resulting in varying levels of melt flow, impact resistance, colorability, gamma recovery, and other controlled characteristics. General-purpose acrylic grades contain a comonomer, added during the polymerization process, to facilitate [...]
Everywhere you look, you see vinyl. A bus whizzes by you on the street, you walk into a fast food restaurant or walk into a suite in a corporate office building, it is all around you. Wiring and Cables Look around the room and you are bound to see lots of cables. A lot of [...]
