BASF Introduces New High Alkali-Resistant, Two-Pack Water-Based Ink System for Packaging Applications

BASF introduced Joncryl FLX 5100 emulsion and Joncryl FLX CL 1 crosslinker, a new high alkali-resistant, two-pack water-based ink system for packaging applications.
Printing ink formulas based on Joncryl FLX 5100 emulsion and Joncryl FLX CL 1 crosslinker enable ink manufacturers the opportunity to provide converters a two-pack ink system suitable for beverage labels, outdoor bags and other high alkali-resistant applications.
“Our new Joncryl FLX two-pack ink technology now allows converters the option to print with water-based inks that have a longer pot life and lower toxicity ratings than many two-pack water-based systems currently used for these high resistant applications,” said Richard Grandke, industry manager – Printing & Packaging, Dispersions and Pigments for BASF in North America.
