According to the latest research data from Verified Market Research, the global water-based ink market is expected to reach $133.6 billion by 2028, with a compound annual growth rate of 4%. Water-based ink is becoming the new trend in the printing industry due to its environmental properties, outstanding performance, and wide range of applications.
Qinghe Chemical has always been committed to providing high-quality, environmentally friendly water-based ink solutions for the printing industry.
Our products have the following advantages:
Environmentally Friendly
Water-based ink typically contains no more than 20% solvent (ethanol), significantly reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and effectively protecting the environment from pollution.
Safe
Water-based ink is non-toxic, non-hazardous, and does not generate static electricity, providing a safer and healthier working environment for printing operators.
Outstanding Performance
With the continuous innovation of technology, the performance of water-based ink is also increasing, with outstanding color brightness, printing accuracy, and wear resistance to meet a variety of printing needs.
As countries around the world are tightening regulations on VOC emissions, especially in China and Southeast Asia, where there are restrictions on the choice of inks for flexible packaging manufacturers, the market demand for solvent-free inks and printers compatible with water-based inks is becoming increasingly urgent.
Qinghe Chemical is actively responding to market demand and constantly innovating to break through the technical barriers of water-based ink in the flexographic printing field：
I/ Applicable to rotogravure printing
Traditional water-based inks have been rarely used in gravure printing, mainly due to factors such as long drying time, slow printing speed, and poor compatibility with certain substrates. Qinghe Chemical has shortened the drying time of water-based ink, improved the printing speed, and continuously developed water-based ink formulations suitable for different substrates, successfully achieving the breakthrough of water-based ink in gravure printing.
II/ Applicable to non-absorbent substrates
Water-based inks are typically suitable for absorbent substrates such as paper and fabric. Qinghe Chemical has made water-based ink adhere to non-absorbent substrates such as plastic films by optimizing the formulation and adding special additives, expanding the application range of water-based ink.
Qinghe Chemical's breakthrough in water-based ink not only brings new opportunities for the application of water-based ink in the printing industry but also lays a solid foundation for Qinghe Chemical's development in the global water-based ink market.
