Environmentally Friendly Ink in The Packaging Industry – Soybean Ink/Soy Ink
With the increasingly serious environmental problems and the popularization of environmental awareness, people's environmental requirements for packaging are becoming higher and higher. Our factory uses environmentally friendly soy ink
Soy ink refers to ink made by using soybean oil instead of traditional petroleum solvents.
Soybean oil is an edible oil that can be completely integrated into the natural environment after decomposition. Among various formulations of vegetable oil ink, soybean oil ink is a truly applicable environmentally friendly ink.
Compared with traditional ink, soybean ink has the following advantages：
1. Eco-friendly & low pollution
Made from renewable soybean oil instead of petroleum solvents, it features greatly reduced VOC emissions, mild odor and no pungent smell. It meets green printing and food packaging safety standards with no harmful heavy metal precipitation.
2. Easy deinking for paper recycling
Superior deinkability compared with traditional mineral oil inks. Ink residues are easier to remove during waste paper regeneration, improving the quality of recycled paper and fitting the circular eco-friendly supply chain.
3. Excellent color rendering & printing texture
High color saturation, pure hue and good gloss with clear dot reproduction, presenting fine printing effects for books, color boxes and food labels.
4. High safety
Non-toxic and harmless. Ideal for children’s picture books, baby product packaging, and indirect food/pharmaceutical packaging with lower compliance risks.
5. Cost-effective & good adaptability
Great fluidity and color spreading performance, less ink consumption for the same printing area. Easier roller cleaning, saving detergent cost and machine downtime.
6. Stable weather resistance
Anti-oxidation, rub-resistant and fade-proof. Finished packaging is not easy to smudge or discolor during storage and transportation.
