The Ink we use everyday, do you know what is Ink and the type of ink
In the packing and printing industry, ink is the basic material to be used. Ink also have various types, do you know about ink?
一、Plant ink
There are three main components of ink: pigments, binders and additives.
Pigment can coloring for ink; Binder is a kind of wet material that can make pigment disperse evenly, such as oil, water, soybean or other vegetable oil; Additives such as paraffin wax and petroleum distillate can help dilute and improve the performance of ink on the printing press.
Petroleum based inks have been widely used over 50 years ago, because they have the advantages of fast drying and low cost. But the drawback is that the drying process of this ink will cause damage to the environment. Petroleum based inks not only use non renewable resources, but also produce VOC in the drying process - causing environmental pollution and global climate.
二、Conductive silver ink
Not only the silver ink has stable demand for traditional applications such as membrane switches and PCB still stable. but a number of new applications of sliver ink are gradually emerging, which will bring new business for silver ink manufacturers.
三、 Nano ink
With the increasing role of thermosensitive flexible substrate, the low temperature curing function will play a particularly important role. Nano ink has high conductivity and can be cured at low temperature.
四、Epoxy screen printing ink
The epoxy silk screen printing ink has uniform and bright ink layer, good pigment dispersion, uniform fineness, good screen passing property and leveling property, excellent adhesion to polar substrate after curing, and high hardness, luster, good water resistance, weather resistance and chemical resistance of the film.
五、Thermosetting ink
Thermosetting ink, also known as plastic melt ink, plastic ink, resin ink, etc., is mainly composed of plasticizer and resin, with additives and pigments. Because it can only be cured by heating, it does not block the screen during printing, and can be continuously printed with wet jacket, which greatly improves the production efficiency.
Thermosetting ink is a new generation of textile printing ink. Because of its many advantages, it has largely replaced the traditional printing materials abroad. In addition to the use of glue and water slurry for processing under the specified requirements of the printing factory, most printing manufacturers have learned and used a large number of thermosetting inks to process high-precision products.
