UV Low Migration Inkjet Inks

What means “migration”?Migration is the unwanted transfer of components from ink, adhesive,varnish, substrate or the enviroment into the packaged goods.

Different types of migration:

Migration Issues in the past:

2004: Sensorial problem with advent calender; mineral oil from offset inks

2005: ITX in fruit juice, Baby milk (Nestlé); Photoinitiator from UV inks

2009: Benzophenone in cereals; Photoinitiator from UV inks

2010: Mineral oil from recycled board



European legislation does not specifically cover printing inks in their supplied form,there are some legislative instruments which impact on materials and articlesintended for indirect contact with food.

Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004:materials and articles in contact with food do not transfer their components tofood in quantities which could:- endanger human health OF COURSE!- affect the composition of the food- degradation in the organoleptic properties


Regulation (EU) No 10/2011 on plastic materials and articles intended tocome into contact with food. Overall migration limit (OML) of 60 mg/kg foodor 10 mg/dm² of surface area. In addition specific migration limits (SML) ormaximum contents in the material are set for individual substances (50 ppb).

Regulation (EC) No 2023/2006, sets out rules on Good Manufacturing Practices for the production of food contact articles.


Responsibility: The manufacturer of the packaging and the filler are responsible for theproperties of the food packaging and its compliance with legal requirements.

Aspects to know when talking about ink “migration”

• All kind of inks have components susceptible to migration

• Components with molecular weight ≤ 1000Da

• Ink manufacturers have to develop specific low migration formulas

• Other elements in the production chain to consider:

o adhesives

o varnishes

o the substrate itself (recycled fibers)


Let’s focus on differences between inkjet inks referent to migration elements:

INKJET INKS BENEFITS CHALLENGES

UV - UV curing gets minimum penetration in

substrate

- Formulated in accordance with various

standards and regulations possibility of

printing products for the indirect food

packaging

- Recyclability

- Photoinitiators

- Monomers

(should be specific for low

migration)

WB - No low molecular weight components

- Odourless

- Biocides

- Wetting additives

- VOCs

- Ph controller additives

(MEA)


Let’s focus on differences between inkjet inks referent to migration elements:

INKJET INKS BENEFITS CHALLENGES

HYBRID - No hazardous labeling is required

- Low ink film (no “pile height”)

- Photoinitiators

- Biocides

- Ph controller additives

(MEA)


¿There is another Inkjet inks alternatives to consider?

INKJET

INKS

BENEFITS CHALLENGES

EB - No potential migration photoinitiators

- Solvent free

- Not dependent on the ink layer

- Excellent scratch and chemical

resistance

- Complex technology

- High structural costs

LATEX - No potential migration photoinitiators - PU resins reticulate by IR

(high energy

consumption)

- Heat from IR affect media

stability

- Evaporate H2O but also

VOC's


Innovating at DRUPA 2016 with Power CRB UV inks

Chimigraf presented its new UV Low Migration ink specially formulated for printing on paper and corrugated cardboard

Kao Chimigraf’s CRB FDP UV inks complies with regulations and standards applicable to indirect contact food packaging

CRB FDP UV Inkjet inks: Features & Benefits

1.- “Instant” drying: higher production speeds

2.- Ink Brightness: gloss finish

3.- Perfect dot gain control thanks to LED pinning and UV curing

4.- Media independent: one ICC profile for different substrates

5.- 100 % solids formulation

5.1.- No VOC’s

5.2.- Máximum productivity (pay as you print). Jetted ink is

deposited on the media.

6.- Best Open time: inks don’t dry into printhead.


7.- Better separation in recycling processes thanks to hydrophobic behaviour

of uv ink (corrugated board)

8.- Eliminate drying costs:

No High electrical consumption

Saving floor space in production plant

9.- LM Formulation:

9.1.- Low Odor

9.2.- European Regulations: Swiss Ordinance, EUPIA, Nestlé
