Sun Chemical has launched SunCure Accuflex UV, a
new UV ink system for primary and secondary food packaging that is not
manufactured with Bisphenol A (BPA)-based materials and meets low migration
specifications.
Compliant with the strictest global standards in
the marketplace, including Nestlé food packaging requirements and Swiss
Ordinance chemical composition requirements, SunCure Accuflex UV flexo inks
meet the latest photoinitiator safe packaging guidelines and provide low odor
and very low residual extractables characteristics, while maintaining the
highest standards of pressroom performance.
The ink system specifically addresses concerns that
brand owners face due to strict labeling laws like California’s Proposition 65,
which require businesses to provide warnings on their packaging for products
that could expose consumers to BPA. BPA and certain photoinitiators are
chemicals that have been identified as carcinogens and reprotoxins.
Designed for both folding carton and flexible film
packaging applications where high press performance, color vibrancy and
regulatory compliance are critical, SunCure AccuFlex UV flexo inks offer good
adhesion to a variety of film substrates, provide great flexo viscosity
stability under high shear conditions, and exhibit excellent UV cure response.
Available in North America, SunCure AccuFlex UV inks can be used for a variety
of paper packaging applications and feature low post-odor properties that are
essential to many brand owners.
