Anti set-off spray powders
K4 & K4 plus

K4 and K4 plus are the pioneers of the KSL anti set-off powders based on natural, mineral calcium carbonate in the two versions regular and coated.

In 1951, our K4/15 powder was developed in cooperation with FOGRA (Research Society for Printing e.V.) as the world’s first anti set-off spray powder for the print industry.

Over the years, further K4 powders have been developed from very fine to extra coarse. Today, K4 powders are used whenever their advantages over the common, starch-based, anti set-off powders come into play.
