FAQ's

What is MEK-free ink?

Methyl Ethyl Ketone, or MEK, is a solvent that is frequently used in the printing industry, especially for inks. The term "MEK-free ink" describes ink formulations that do not contain this solvent because of worries about its effects on the environment and human health. The move to MEK-free inks coincides with an increasing number of businesses placing a greater focus on sustainability and safety.

Why choose MEK-Free ink?

MEK-free inks provide a safer option for the environment by lowering emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and lowering the possibility of health hazards for employees. These inks are made to adhere to strict regulatory requirements while maintaining excellent printing performance. The adoption of MEK-free inks becomes a strategic choice for companies looking to improve workplace safety and their environmental impact without sacrificing print quality, as companies prioritise eco-conscious practises more and more.

What are the benefits of MEK-Free Ink?

The use of MEK-free ink offers several benefits, ranging from environmental considerations to health and safety improvements:

  1. Environmental Friendliness: MEK-free inks contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly printing process by reducing volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. This helps minimize the environmental impact associated with traditional solvent-based inks.

  2. Air Quality Improvement: Eliminating MEK from ink formulations reduces the release of harmful pollutants into the air. This is particularly significant in enclosed spaces, such as printing facilities, where improved air quality positively impacts the health and well-being of workers.

  3. Health and Safety: MEK is associated with certain health risks, including respiratory and skin irritation. MEK-free inks provide a safer working environment for printing professionals by eliminating exposure to this potentially harmful solvent.

  4. Regulatory Compliance: As environmental regulations become more stringent, using MEK-free inks ensures compliance with evolving standards and demonstrates a commitment to responsible business practices.

  5. Consumer Appeal: In an era where consumers are increasingly environmentally conscious, businesses using MEK-free inks can appeal to a growing market of eco-aware customers. This can enhance brand image and customer loyalty.

  6. Print Quality: Contrary to concerns that eco-friendly alternatives may compromise print quality, MEK-free inks are designed to maintain high printing standards. This ensures that businesses can achieve professional results while reducing their environmental impact.

  7. Innovation and Industry Trends: Embracing MEK-free ink aligns with broader industry trends towards sustainability and innovation. Staying ahead of these trends can position businesses as leaders in their field.
