— Our story

Focused on one chemistry, done well.

1988

Founded in Karad

Started producing photosensitive chemicals for the printing trade from Maharashtra.

Today

Two industries served

DNQ actives and coatings for UV CtCP offset plates and electronic photoresists.

DNQ chemistry sits at the heart of two demanding industries — offset printing-plate manufacture and electronic photoresists. Both need actives that are consistent batch to batch and clean in use. That is the narrow problem Orion is built to solve.

Founded in 1988, Orion has developed photosensitive chemistry for the printing industry and electronic photoresist applications. We supply the full DNQ value chain: the sodium salt building block, its esterified one-pack resin, and a developer-free, ready-to-use CtCP coating. Each grade ships with documentation — data sheets, safety data and certificates of analysis — so customers can qualify it into their own process with confidence.

Pradeep Sakhadeo

Founder

Started producing photosensitive chemicals in 1988 and has since developed grades for the offset printing industry and electronic photoresist applications.

— What we stand for

Quality, documentation and cleaner technology.

98

Consistent purity

DNQ active grades held to a minimum 98% assay, so the chemistry behaves the same from batch to batch.

Full documentation

Data sheets, safety data and batch certificates of analysis accompany our grades for clean qualification.

Cleaner technology

Our developer-free CtCP system removes corrosive developer chemistry from the pressroom entirely.
