Why said water-based ink is environmentally friendly ink?With the enhancement of people's
awareness of environmental protection, various countries have put forward many requirements
and constraints in terms of sanitation and environmental protection in packaging and printing.
Especially for the printing of food packaging, the use of water-based ink with less pollution and
even no pollution has become an inevitable requirement for the development of green packaging.
Why said water-based ink is environmentally friendly ink? Waterborne ink refers to the ink
prepared by a combination of specific water-based polymer resin,pigment, water, and solvent
through physical and chemical processes. As a new type of packaging and printing material,
water-based ink has the greatest advantage of not containing volatile organic solvents. Its use
reduces the amount of organic volatile compounds (VOC), does not damage the health of ink
manufacturers and printing operators, and improves the environmental quality, so it is called
environmental protection ink. The biggest feature of water-based ink is that it has no pollution
to the environment, no impact on human health, is not easy to burn, and has good safety. It can
not only reduce the residual toxicity on the surface of printed materials, make printing equipment
clear and convenient, but also reduce the fire risk caused by static electricity and flammable solvents.
In addition to environmental protection, water-based ink printing characteristics are also good.
The water-based ink has stable ink property, does not corrode the plate, is simple to operate, cheap,
has good adhesion after printing, strong water resistance, and can dry quickly (the printing speed can
reach 150-200m/min). Water based ink is not only used for gravure printing, but also for
flexographic printing and screen printing with great development potential
