Characteristics

The electron beam curing Supra EB film inks are 100% systems used in fields where low migration is requested as in outer food packagings with indirect contact.

no photoinitiators

• high colour intensity aligned to 7C-printing
• high gloss
• very good adhesion

Seven-colour printing

With seven-colour printing, the usual scale of cyan, magenta, yellow and black is supplemented by the special colours orange, green and violet. This addition considerably expands the colour space that can be achieved. The larger colour spectrum of seven-colour printing ensures not only a greater luminosity of the green, orange and violet tones but also a more vivid, deeper and more dynamic image impression.

Field of application

The inks mentioned above are recommended for the production of food- and pharmaceutical packaging. These inks are formulated to minimise potential migration. Migration can occur through the substrate or by set-off. During set-off migration the ink components shift from the printed outer side to the unprinted food-contact surface in the stack or the reel. Note that each migration is also dependent on the processing conditions and sufficient barrier properties of the substrate. These inks are only suitable for indirect food contact.
The inks are generally suitable for the packaging of following food substances:

• all kind of odour- and taste-sensitive food
• solid, paste-like or liquid, greasy or aqueous food
