Toyo Ink Europe has launched a new low migration ink, called Steraflex GIO, to enhance its flexographic print performance. This new low migration ink is engineered to deliver print and press performance on various label substrates, sleeves, and applications where minimal migration is crucial.
Steraflex GIO meets the standards set by the European Printing Ink Association, Swiss Ordinance, the ECHA SVHC list, and other European regulations, including the German Ink Ordinance (GIO).
It is said to be free from intentionally added photo initiator 379, thus meeting present and future stipulations of the GIO.
The binder system in Steraflex GIO is reported to ensure enhanced adhesion on a wide array of substrates, including standard films and challenging label materials.
The manufacturer reports that it exhibits an improvement in bond strength, particularly on low-surface tension substrates such as biaxially oriented polypropylene.
Additionally, the Toyo Ink Europe team has completed intensive training at Omet Demo Center.
