Avient announces the launch of Rutland™ Evolve™ Bio Plastisol™ Inks for the screen-printing industry. Rutland™ Evolve™ Bio Plastisol™ Inks are created with 56-59% bio-derived content and tested to ASTM D6866. Avient is a provider of specialized and sustainable materials solutions and services.
Alternative to Fossil Fuel-based Inks
Rutland™ Evolve™ Bio Plastisol™ Inks can reduce screen printers’ reliance on fossil fuel-based inks while seamlessly introducing more sustainable practices to plastisol screen printing shops. These inks are currently offered in white and mixing base inks. They provide intuitive printing experience with standard screen-printing equipment and processes.
“
At Avient Specialty Inks, we’re committed to offering innovative screen-printing inks that support sustainability objectives without compromising on performance,” said Jake Ojeda, global marketing and sales director, Avient Specialty Inks.
“
Rutland™ Evolve™ Bio Plastisol™ Inks are a great example of this – they allow screen printers to incorporate bio-derived inks that maintain the on-press performance Rutland™ is known for.”
Rutland™ Evolve™ Bio Plastisol™ Inks print compatibly with Rutland™ NPT C3 pigments. They can be mixed to thousands of Pantone®-simulated colors using IMS 3.0. IMS 3.0 is Avient Specialty Inks’ proprietary color formulation software. When printing with these inks, formulas in IMS 3.0 will calculate the amount of bio-derived content associated with each Pantone color. They are manufactured in the United States and available from Rutland™ distributors.
