What is Solvent-based Ink?

The solvent-based ink is an ink system formed by dispersing pigments or dyes in organic solvents or solvent-based polymeric film-forming agents as a carrier. Solvent-based ink can be soluble in organic solvents instead of water. Solvent-based ink can be diluted with organic solvents, available absorbent surface and non-absorbent surface spray printing, spray painting are not easy to fade.

Benefits of Solvent-based Ink

The solvent-based ink has these characteristics:

1. large ink viscosity
2. fast-drying
3. water resistance
4. soft
5. good light resistance
6. The use of ink is more economical, and effective cost savings.

Mostly used for:

• metal
• plastic
• wood
• aluminum foil
• carton
• building materials

Solvent-based inks have a huge market in large-format and wide-format applications due to their high image quality and low raw material costs.

You will use the thinner and cleaning agent to wash the disperser and mixer when produce the ink. so there will have waste thinner and cleaning agent need to treat, please contact Kit Hing Environmental Equipment to buy a solvent recovery machine to help you recycle the thinner to reuse and save more cost.
