Advantages of water-based ink leveling agents in environmental protection
1. Non-toxic and harmless
Water-based ink leveling agents are usually produced with environmentally friendly raw
materials and do not contain substances that are harmful to the human body or the environment.
This makes the water-based ink leveling agent harmless to human health or the environment during
use, and meets the requirements of modern green printing.
2. Reduce volatile organic compound emissions
Compared with solvent-based inks, water-based inks themselves have significant environmental
advantages. Solvent-based inks usually contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which evaporate
into the air during the printing process and pollute the environment. The dissolving carrier of water-based
ink is mainly water and a small amount of alcohol, which does not contain VOCs or contains very little VOCs.
Therefore, water-based inks using water-based ink leveling agents can significantly reduce VOCs emissions
during the printing process, which helps to reduce air pollution.
3. Reduce the difficulty of wastewater treatment
During the printing process, the use of water-based ink leveling agents can also reduce the difficulty of wastewater
treatment. Since the dissolving carrier of water-based ink is water, there are relatively few harmful substances in the
wastewater and it is relatively easy to treat. This helps to reduce the investment of printing companies in wastewater
treatment and reduce production costs.
4. Recyclable and reusable
The use of water-based ink leveling agents also helps to achieve the recycling and reuse of water-based inks. During
the printing process, some water-based inks may remain on the printing equipment or substrates. Through proper recycling
and treatment, these water-based inks can be reused, thereby reducing the demand for new water-based inks. This not only
helps to save resources, but also reduces production costs and environmental burdens.
5.Compliance with environmental protection regulations
With the increasingly stringent environmental protection regulations, printing companies are paying more and more attention
to the use of environmentally friendly materials and technologies. As an important component of environmentally friendly
water-based inks, water-based ink leveling agents meet the requirements of environmental protection regulations and help printing
companies pass environmental protection audits and certifications smoothly.
In summary
Water-based ink leveling agents have significant advantages in environmental protection, which make water-based ink leveling agents
an important tool for modern green printing. By using water-based ink leveling agents, printing companies can reduce production costs,
improve production efficiency, and reduce environmental pollution, thereby achieving a win-win situation of economic and social benefits.
