WINK Waterbased Inks

WINK - WATERBASE INK FOR PRINTING PVC AND POLYSTYRENE

The increasingly stringent regulations regarding emission of volatile organic compounds (VOC) to the atmosphere, combined with the insurance industry pressure to reduce workplace exposure to flammable and hazardous solvents, has created a need for a waterbase screen printing ink with good print ability

WINK Waterbase inks have the following characteristics:

• Low VOC
• Low Heavy Metals
• Short laminating cycles
• Superior adhesion under lamination
• Full bleed colors without coated overlay
• Consistent Metallic colors without gasing
• Fast drying without clogging screens
• Excellent print ability
• Good shelf-life
• Gloss or matte colors available

Of special interest for manufacturers of laminated PVC or overcoated substrates is the superior adhesion obtained to both printed substrate and PVC overlay or UV topcoat. For laminated cards this allows the use of uncoated PVC overlay even when the ink contains high loadings of pigment such as with metallic effects. This superior adhesion can also result in shorter laminating cycles for improved plant efficiency.

A complete range of colors including metallic and pearlescents, as well as custom color matching also available.
