Resino’s New UV Ink Raises Consumer Safety and Quality

Consumer safety and quality are key words where Resino’s inks are concerned. With the new series of RESUCAT® 210-27 UV ink, once again, Resino increases the standard of your customer’s finished product.

Reduced odor, faster printing speed and a host of other characteristics in high demand make RESUCAT 210-27 ideal for printing on sausage casing and food packaging. 

“When we develop new products, it is crucial that the products are safe to use  and of very high quality. This is exactly why I am extremely proud to introduce Resino’s latest product series, RESUCAT 210-27,” Finn Cederstrøm, advisor at Resino Inks, said. “With a host of extraordinary features such as reduced odor, higher drying speed and a low risk of migration, RESUCAT 210-27 exceeds both consumer safety and quality standards, which make your product more attractive to your customers.”

RESUCAT 210-27 is a cationic UV-curable printing ink for flexo printing.
The series was developed based on a completely new chemistry, which has given RESUCAT 210-27 some very special characteristics which are in demand for printing on sausage casings and food packaging.

“RESUCAT 210-27 has been developed based on carefully selected raw materials and many years of experience in developing and refining printing inks for food packaging,” said Kristian Karlsen, laboratory manager at Resino. “For that reason, the new RESUCAT 210-27 series may advantageously replace our current RESUCAT 210 variants as they meet the same safety and quality standards – but the RESUCAT 210-27 does even better. Moreover, RESUCAT® 210-27 has characteristics such as higher printing speed, higher gloss, longer shelf life and, generally, better all-round properties. These are characteristics that are in very high demand with our customers and I am very pleased that we can now offer this product – and even at a reasonable price.”

Odor is an important parameter in the supermarket and for that reason low odor is a key parameter for the supplier. The RESUCAT 210-27 series is among the lowest in the RESUCAT 210 series and provides a real advantage to the brand owner. The low odor re-duces the risk of the ink giving off taste and odor to foods. At the same time, the working environment in the printing process is improved.

The combination of technical advantages and the price is top-notch for RESUCAT® 210-27. RESUCAT 210-27 and the other RESUCAT 210 have been awarded top marks in ad-hesion to the substrate and resistance to mechanical exposure, boiling and sterilization and appear impeccable, which is extremely satisfactory.

RESUCAT 210-27 has the fastest cure response of the entire RESUCAT® 210 series. This provides two advantages in the printing process: the ability to increase productivity by printing at higher speed. This is also more cost-efficient.

All 210-27 shades have great stability – even at high temperatures. Stability tests show better shelf life, which means that the ink does not increase as much in viscosity or cure in the bucket during storage.
