Water Based Inks

Water-based inks

Water-based inks are specially formulated printing inks in which water acts as the primary carrier, helping to disperse and transfer the pigments and binding components onto the printing substrate. After printing, the water evaporates or is absorbed, leaving a coloured ink film on the surface.

The inks are designed for a range of printing applications and can be used on compatible substrates depending on the specific formulation. CHESPA water-based ink systems are suitable for packaging and printing applications where consistent colour, good printability and reliable adhesion are required.

Different formulations can be developed for specific substrates and printing processes, including flexographic and rotogravure printing.

Applications

Depending on the specific ink formulation, water-based inks can be used for:

Paper and cardboard packaging

Corrugated board

Flexible packaging

Labels

Paper bags and sacks

Other compatible printing substrates

Storage and Handling

Store in the original, tightly closed container in a cool, dry and frost-free area. Protect the product from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Keep containers properly sealed when not in use to prevent contamination or evaporation.

Specific storage temperatures, shelf life and handling requirements may vary depending on the particular CHESPA ink formulation. Always refer to the relevant Technical Data Sheet (TDS) and Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use.

Packaging

Available in different packaging sizes depending on the specific CHESPA water-based ink range and customer requirements.
