Hubergroup is expanding its UV product portfolio by adding an ink system specially formulated for use on non-absorbent substrates. The new ink system being launched under the brand name ‘NewV poly MGA’ complies with the “EuPIA Guideline on Printing Inks applied to the Non-Food-Contact Surface of Food Packaging Materials and Articles”. According to the company, the cured ink film contains only components that do not migrate or migration-capable constituents that have been evaluated for contact with foodstuffs.
Hubergroup also announced that all UV inks, both for the non-food and the food segments, will from now on be formulated as systems completely independent of the roller material and consequently suitable for use with all blankets and ink rollers. As a result, printers won’t be forced to spend as much time and effort on cleaning or replacing blankets.
