Acrylic emulsion is widely used in printing inks. Here are its main functions and advantages: Enhance adhesion Acrylic emulsion can form a strong bond with various substrates (such as PET, BOPP, PE plastic films and paper), ensuring that the ink does not come off easily after printing. It is particularly suitable for packaging printing. Enhance glossiness and color spreadability It can make the su...
Water based acrylic resin has many applications. Today, let's talk about one of them - water-based ink. 1. Water-based ink and solvent-based ink As is known to all, water-based ink has the advantages of being environmentally friendly, non-toxic, without irritating odors, and without corrosiveness. During use, it can be diluted directly with tap water, and is harmless to the environment and human b...
At present, water-based inks are mainly used for flexible and recessed plate printing. Among these, most of them are used in food packaging, tobacco and alcohol, pharmaceutical factories, and children's toys, occupying a considerable market share. Composition of water-based inks Water-based inks are made by compounding and grinding water-based resins, pigments, and solvents. Water-soluble resins m...
The performance of the ink mainly depends on the resin emulsion; for instance, the viscosity, adhesion, gloss, drying, and printing adaptability of the ink are mainly determined by the resin. Water-based inks use water-based acrylic copolymer resins, as these resins have significant advantages over alkyd resins, epoxy resins, and polyurethane resins in terms of gloss, weather resistance, heat...
Film-Forming Aids Polymers that make up emulsions or dispersions typically have glass transition temperatures above room temperature. To ensure good integration of emulsion particles into a uniform paint film, film-forming aids must be used to lower the minimum film-forming temperature (MFFT). Film-forming aids are a class of small-molecule organic compounds that eventually escape and volatilize f...
In the printing industry, the demands for waterborne coating performance, especially high-gloss applications, are increasingly stringent. Single-component waterborne acrylic emulsion systems often suffer from limitations in balancing key performance characteristics when meeting high-end requirements. To address this, Sinograce Chemical has developed a high-performance emulsion combinatio...
Acrylic adhesives are renowned for their excellent overall performance, especially in industrial applications requiring high strength, aging resistance, and rapid curing. Key Features High Strength and Toughness: After curing, they form a strong and tough adhesive layer, with particularly excellent impact and peel resistance. Rapid Curing: Second-generation acrylates (SGA) and UV-cu...
Sometimes, a slight ammonia smell is detected in water-based acrylic emulsions, which confuses many people: is this normal or is there a problem? First, we need to clarify that acrylic emulsions themselves do not produce an ammonia smell. However, during their production, ammonia-containing additives may be added to adjust their performance or improve their stability. These additives gra...
In the printing industry, overprint varnish and clear varnish are often mentioned together. While they are closely related, they differ in definition, composition, application, and performance. Definition and Scope Overprint Varnish Overprint varnish refers to a transparent coating applied to the surface of printed materials. It is typically composed of synthetic resins, solvents, and ad...
Water-based Clear Primer for Printing: Addressing Insufficient Ink Adhesion on Gold and Silver Cardboard The use of a water-based clear primer on gold and silver cardboard to resolve issues of insufficient ink adhesion is achieved primarily through the following mechanisms: Improving Surface Tension The surface of gold and silver cardboard is typically smooth and possesses low ...
In flexographic printing, the performance of waterborne polymers and resin systems directly affects ink stability, color consistency, adhesion, and production efficiency. Traditional water-based inks may cause anilox roller clogging during long production runs, leading to unstable ink transfer and interrupted printing. In comparison, UV flexographic inks cure instantly under UV light, helping redu...
Printing varnish plays a multifaceted and crucial role in the post-press processing of printed materials, primarily encompassing the following points: Enhancing Visual Appeal Increased Gloss: It renders the surface of printed materials smooth and lustrous, enhancing color saturation and contrast, making images and text sharper and more striking, and thereby boosting overall visual appeal. Creating...
As carbon reduction and circular economy continue to gain momentum worldwide, the packaging industry is paying more attention to material recyclability and recycled material value. For PET bottles, food trays, and household product packaging, labels are not only used for brand display, but also play an important role in the recycling process. In traditional recycling systems, label adhesives that ...

We are committed to driving the circular economy through sustainable chemical solu...
PET plastic bottles are widely used in beverage, food, household chemical, personal care, and many other packaging applications. Although PET has high recycling value, label materials and adhesive residues can still affect the washing, sorting, and reprocessing quality of recycled PET flakes during the actual recycling process. Traditional label adhesives are often difficult to remove completely d...
BOPP, PP, OPP, and PE films are widely used in flexible packaging, labels, and decorative applications due to their transparency, chemical resistance, and stable processing properties. However, printing on these films isn’t always straightforward. A printed surface may look fine initially, but problems can appear during tape tests, rewinding, die-cutting, or transport. Ink may peel, scratch, or lo...
