Abstract

Black, blue, red and yellow gravure ink products, popularly applied on PET, NY and BOPP films, were prepared using alcohol soluble polyurethane as the main ingredient and the dispersing agent, SiO2 powder, environment-friendly pigment and solvent as additives (adding 0. 5% adhesion enhancer in case of BOPP). The color, color strength, fineness, viscosity, adhesion, initial dryness, surface tension, residual solvent and boil water resistant were measured and analyzed. It was concluded that the formulas is simple, contains no phenyl and ketonic solvent, their residual solvent are lower than 1. 0 mg / m2 which can meet the requirement of food packaging; it is a series of novel popular gravure ink with safety and environment friendly nature.
