GreenMantra Technologies, a clean technology company that produces high-value polymer products from waste plastics, and Sun Chemical are partnering to jointly develop polymers from recycled polystyrene waste for use in ink formulations.
Using GPC it is possible to track changes in the MW of polymer- based inks induced by the printing process. This makes it possible to study the impact of polymer concentration and of printer geometries and operating modes on polymer degradation.
Depending on the nature of the application, different levels of the release effect are desired, and demands regarding durability of the release effect vary substantially. Therefore, it makes sense to take a closer look at the specialty additives that create this effect.
ECOBRITE® organic inks have an in situ adhesion promoter that eliminates the need for silane pretreatment and makes printing colorful glass bottles and containers easier.
The increased application of inkjet printing within ceramic tile decoration creates a need for advanced ink formulations, engineered to perform optimally at every stage of product use.
Sun Chemical’s Maurice Carruthers has been honored with two print industry awards, the 2014 National Association of Print Ink Manufacturers (NAPIM) Pioneer Award and the Metro New York Printing Ink Association (MNYPIA) 2014 Man of the Year.
