What is Water-based Ink?

Water-based inks are made from water-soluble or water-dispersible polymer resins, colorants, surfactants and other related additives through a chemical process and physical processing. The most important feature that distinguishes water-based inks from solvent-based inks is the dissolving carrier used.

Benefits of Water-based Ink

Water-based ink, ink stability, bright colors. Water-based ink is formulated by water-based resin, soluble in water, and can be diluted with water

It has many benefits:

no organic solvents
reduce solvent volatilization
prevent atmospheric pollution
does not affect human health
environmentally friendly ink

Water-based ink is also important for:

inexpensive
good adhesion after printing
fast-drying
water resistance

Objective conditions of Water-based Ink

Water-based ink printing is suitable for objective conditions:

printing conditions
substrate surface characteristics
environmental temperature and humidity
the length of storage

so in use, the need for some additives to make subtle adjustments to obtain the best printing results.

Water-based inks commonly used additives:

color
pH stabilizer
slow drying agent
defoamer
washout agent

Printing to be familiar with the characteristics of additives and the use of methods.

Water-based ink dissolution carrier is water or mixed with a small amount of alcohol-water, so water-based ink has significant environmental safety features, theoretical non-toxic, harmless, non-flammable, non-explosive, from production to application are safe. The application and development of water-based ink are to solve the problem of environmental pollution and human health damage caused by the use of solvent-based ink.

Our Water-Based Inks

Nowadays, water-based inks have been widely used in paper printing, but the development of water-based plastic inks by our company is another application of water-based inks in the field of plastic film printing. It is mainly used in the packaging of food and medicine and is used to solve the problem of solvent residue pollution the packaged products.
