Coding and marking specialist Linx Printing Technologies launches its two new black inks, Linx 1015 and Linx 3415.
In response to the new challenges of coding on flexible plastic packaging, Linx has developed high quality and durable inks for use on flexible films. Formulated to meet customer needs, these inks offer reliable adhesion and are suitable for a wide range of substrates such as plastic films for spice sachets, biscuit bags, pet food or even household products.
The shift in plastic packaging towards increasingly recycled packaging and stronger laminated plastic films makes these new inks the perfect choice for effective marking.
Linx 1015 and Linx 3415 inks are specifically formulated to be free from PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl) and CMR substances, and comply with the exclusion policy standards of EupIA (European Printing Ink Association). On the top of that, Black ink 3415 does not contain MEK, but offers comparable qualities.
To meet the demands of the global market and current trends, these new formulations have undergone a number of tests to produce a versatile solution that meets the needs of a variety of packaging and other applications.
Dr Amy Ruddlesden, Inks Development Manager and Chief Chemist at Linx Printing Technologies, describes the new Linx 1015 and Linx 3415 black inks as inks that ‘will help customers to ensure full product traceability with high quality and highly legible codes on today's flexible plastic packaging.
