Flint Group announced the expansion of its TerraCode range with its latest addition: TerraCode Bio. This new range expands Flint Group’s environmentally conscious bio-based extenders and coatings designed for the corrugated market.
Originally launched in 2019, TerraCode is Flint Group's portfolio of environmentally friendly inks and coatings designed for paper packaging applications.
Notably, TerraCode Bio is built on bio-renewable and recycled material content. These products exhibit superb print quality and resistance properties that match or exceed Flint Group’s conventional inks.
“Our expanded TerraCode Bio range of extenders and coatings is a fantastic addition to our TerraCode portfolio for corrugated printing,” Kari Raassina, senior director of product management Europe at Flint Group, said. "Pre-launch trials with packaging printers across Europe were a resounding success. We are delighted to formally add these new TerraCode Bio products to our European product line-up.
"In addition to supporting sustainability in packaging, the range offers exceptional levels of performance with excellent coverage, tonal values and trap quality. For added versatility, TerraCode Bio is suitable for high-volume uncoated board and more detailed coated board designs,” Raassina continued. "Our TerraCode Bio range is available as part of Flint Group's 'building block' technology."
“With our TerraCode Bio extenders, ink formulations can contain up to 90% bio-renewable or recycled raw materials, which is an enormous sustainability advantage for corrugated packaging converters focused on circularity,” Alessio Crivellari, product manager, Paper & Board Europe at Flint Group, added. "This technology can also reduce CO2 emissions of Flint Group extenders for corrugated packaging by up to 40%.”
