• SunSpectro Solvawash GR and FL washable/deinkable, gravure, and flexo-printable solvent-based inks are a solution that enables brand owners to increase the recyclability of their products that use shrink labels. SunSpectro SolvaWash allows for higher quality and yield of recycled PET from bottle recycling streams.
During the show, Dr. Nikola Juhasz, global technical director for sustainability, Sun Chemical, will present a session about SunSpectro Solvawash titled Recycle-Friendly Washable Inks for Plastic Packaging on Monday, Oct. 24 at 11:00 AM (CDT) on the Innovation Stage.
• A new portfolio of sustainable, renewable and compostable eco-friendly inks and coatings that are formulated with significantly higher levels of bio-renewable resin content compared to other previous market offerings will be on display. One of these inks, SunSpectro SolvaGreen flexographic and gravure solvent-based inks, feature naturally derived resins and additives for surface printing on biodegradable films.
• SunVisto AquaGreen water-based inks are formulated with the highest level of bio-renewable resin content the industry has to offer, providing a high-quality finish brand owners should value.
• SunScreen, a new system designed specifically for real-time monitoring of coatings during the printing operation.
Sun Chemical booth visitors will also learn about a variety of coatings that can enhance their packaging.
• In addition to extending product shelf life, SunBar (Aerobloc) oxygen barrier coatings can make packaging lighter in weight by removing polymer layers from the packaging, as well as offering improved laminate flexibility.
• SunInspire specialty inks and coatings add visual magic to packaging. From metallic inks to glitter effects, pearlescent, and frosted effects, SunInspire tactile coatings range from coarse and gritty to soft and smooth, appealing to the sense of touch.
• SunColorBox is a set of tools and services ranging from site assessments and full color audits, to matching and validating colors, to hosting digital libraries of spot colors that enables consistent, accurate digital color communication, and provides color data connectivity across the entire packaging supply chain.
