What are the characteristics of environmentally friendly water-based inks?

The environmental protection water-based ink is different from the solvent-based ink. The major feature is the dissolution carrier used. The solvent-based ink's dissolution carrier is an organic solvent, such as toluene, ethyl acetate, and ethanol. The water-based ink's dissolution carrier is water and a small amount. Alcohol (about 3% to 5%), due to the use of water as a dissolving carrier, Dongguan environmental protection water-based ink has significant environmental protection and safety features: safe, non-toxic, harmless, non-flammable, non-explosive, and almost no volatile organic gas. Mainly manifested in the following four aspects:

Dongguan environmental protection water-based ink

1. No pollution to the atmosphere;

2. Reduce the residual poison on the surface of the printed matter and ensure the food hygiene and safety;

3. Reduce resource consumption and reduce environmental protection costs;

4. Improve the safety of the working environment and protect the health of the contact operators;

Some manufacturers are more willing to choose water-based. One of the reasons is that this ink is cheaper than thermosetting ink. It is a production element that can save a lot of costs. It is especially suitable for long-length live printing of light-colored clothing. Moreover, this type of ink is also very convenient for manufacturers' own production. Printers can purchase raw materials separately and then mix them in a production workshop. Self-production is a good way to save money, because the life cycle of mixed ink is shorter than that of thermosetting ink. Its feel is very soft, and it is easy to be diluted with water. Although it can only be used on white clothes, people do not care about color stability and transparency at this time.
