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. Improvements, 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. Because the ink is made of rosin acid amine salt as the main connecting material. The connecting material is not stable in an aqueous medium, so the ink is easily lost in the storage, thinning, slow drying, poor water resistance, easy to cause paper shrinkage and other defects. China's gravure printing and flexographic printing have been limited, and they have to adopt high-priced imported high-quality water-based inks, which virtually increase the printing cost and limit the development of China's printing industry.

In the 1990s, with the rapid development of our country’s economy, people’s awareness of packaging aesthetics and environmental protection 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 across the country, 90% of which are narrow-format flexo presses. It is now 30 years a year. The number of left and right stations has been increasing, and there are 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. If 10% of water-based inks are used to print high-grade cartons, each household uses 10 tons of ink, and each province needs 1,000 tons of water-based ink every year. This is not yet Other printing and packaging products including 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 increasing popularity of green packaging and environmentally-friendly packaging, many tobacco companies, wineries, pharmaceutical companies, cosmetics, and children's toy companies are The use of flexographic printing products is planned, and the proportion of flexo 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 with great market potential. The product can be widely used in flexographic and gravure printing fields such as gold, silver cardboard, art paper, white board, plastic film, corrugated paper, self-adhesive paper, carton, paper packaging, books and magazines.
