Sun Chemical Debuts GIO-Compliant SolarFlex FSP UV Flexo Inks

Sun Chemical launches its newly upgraded SolarFlex FSP UV flexographic ink range. 

This provides label and packaging manufacturers with a food-compliant solution that meets regulatory requirements while delivering the productivity, print quality, and low migration performance demanded by the packaging market.

The new SolarFlex FSP formulation meets or surpasses the requirements of the German Ink Ordinance (GIO) and the Swiss Ink Ordinance (SIO) through selected raw materials and low migration performance, and is suitable for labels, sleeves, and packaging applications.

SolarFlex FSP is available in standard and intense four-color, expanded color gamut process inks, and high-strength mono-pigmented blending colors. 

The new formulation also offers low odour, excellent printability, low viscosity, and fast curing, meeting high print speed and productivity requirements in the label and packaging sectors. 

The range offers label and packaging manufacturers the flexibility required to meet a broad spectrum of brand colors and packaging requirements.

Jonathan Sexton, Product Manager, Energy Curing, Sun Chemical, comments: “Packaging regulations continue to evolve across Europe, creating new challenges for manufacturers and brand owners. Our next-generation SolarFlex FSP inks have been developed to help customers remain compliant without compromising performance and output. The upgraded formulation fully meets increasingly strict regulations and enables packaging manufacturers and brand owners to achieve their sustainability objectives.”
