Toy packaging water-based ink market outlook

Water-based ink is also called liquid ink. It was first produced in Tianjin Ink Factory. At that time, gravure printing service was mainly used. At that time, gravure printing ink was improved from benzene solvent to gasoline-based solvent, although it was more toxic than benzene ink. Lower, but flammability has not improved. Therefore, it was proposed that the gravure printing ink be further improved to a non-toxic, non-flammable water-based ink, which was called water-concave ink at that time. Since the ink is made of a rosin acid amine salt as a main binder. The connecting material is not stable in an aqueous medium, so that the ink is easily lost in storage, thinning, drying is slow, water resistance is not good, easy to cause paper shrinkage and other defects, so that China's gravure printing rental Flexo printing by With the restriction, high-grade water-based inks imported at high prices have to be used, which virtually increases the printing costs and limits the development of the printing industry in China.

In the 1990s, with the rapid development of China's economy, people's awareness of packaging aesthetics and environmental awareness have continued to increase. From 1995 to the end of 1998, China has introduced more than 130 modular flexo lines in just a few years. It is distributed in more than 20 provinces and cities in the country, 90% of which are narrow-format flexo presses. It is now 30 years a year. The number of stations around is increasing, and there are also many imported high-end tri-color and four-color water-based ink printing slot machines for color printing of corrugated paper. According to statistics from relevant authorities, there are more than 1,000 carton factories in each province in China, such as printing high-grade cartons with water-based inks at 10%, and with each household printing ink at 10 tons, each province needs about 1,000 tons of water-based ink every year. Excluding other printing and packaging products for flexo and gravure printing (currently, 100% of domestic flexographic printing uses water-based ink, and 80% of gravure printing uses water-based ink). For this reason, the production plant designed to produce 300 tons of water-based ink per year can only meet the needs of the local market. Although flexographic printing is still a starting class in China, it currently accounts for only about 3% of the printing industry. However, with the gradual popularity of environmental protection packaging, many tobacco companies, wineries, pharmaceutical companies, cosmetics factories, and children's toy companies are preparing to adopt it. Flexographic printing product packaging, the proportion of flexographic printing in the printing field will gradually increase, especially in the field of packaging and printing. It is estimated that by 2010, the flexographic printing market will reach a share of about 15%, and annual demand for water-based ink will be more than 100,000 tons. Therefore, it is imperative to vigorously develop, develop, and produce high-grade water-based inks, and the market has great potential. The product can be widely used in gold, silver cardboard, coated paper, whiteboard paper. Plastic film, corrugated paper, self-adhesive paper, carton, paper packaging, books, magazines, and other printed flexographic and gravure printing areas.
