Solvent Base Inks - Organic Solvent Formulation, High Quality For Plastic Film And Paper Printing

Our organization have been actively engaged in trading and supplying a premium quality Solvent Base Inks in Daman, Daman and Diu, India.

Originally flexographic inks used coal tar or aniline dyes dissolved in alcohol. Although the coal tar has been replaced with other pigments and other organic solvents are still commonly used in ink formulated to print on plastic film, metallics, and paper or paperboard. Drying on press occurs by evaporation and is aided by dryers placed between print stations on press and a final tunnel dryer. Solvents are chosen primarily for appropriate drying rates, good solubility of the resin vehicle and good flow of the ink system.

The solvent used in ink may be organic solvent, water or a mixture. Organic solvents are usually volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Printers are required by law to control emissions of VOCs. Some solvent-based inks exceed 80 percent solvent.

Commonly found VOCs in inks are ethanol, ethyl acetate, ethylene glycol, glycol esters, hexane, isopropanol, nmethanol, mineral spirits, naphthas, normal propyl acetate, xylene. Concentrations of these chemicals should be listed on the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), which accompanies the ink or solvent.
