Flint Group Packaging will be showcasing its latest range of sustainable ink and coating technologies as well as its IDERA digital print engines at Corrugated Week 2022, booth #225.
OctaCode - Water-based Dispersion Technology
The Flint Group Paper & Board team invites attendees to explore its AQUACode range of water-based ink and coating technologies. Among the portfolio, the company will highlight OctaCode, a water-based dispersion technology that provides excellent performance on porous and non-porous substrates, high pigment loading for superior graphics and stability both on and off-press.
Jeff Ashburn, senior vice president for Flint Group Paper & Board, commented, “
Corrugated Week 2022 is a great opportunity for us to meet with printers & converters and demonstrate to the wider corrugated industry exactly why we are the go-to name for sustainable inks and coatings today. At the expo, we’ll be putting our AQUACode range in the spotlight, with a focus on our high-resistance OctaCode dispersions.”
“
We want to highlight that we are creating chemistry with an environmental focus. We do that by formulating a water-based solution free of harmful solvents that will not compromise aesthetics, press performance or mechanical resistance. We’re tearing down the idea that inks and coatings must make compromises elsewhere to be sustainable. They don’t – today’s printers can have it all,” added Ashburn.
The AQUACode range delivers high speed and advanced quality printing, providing industry-leading performance. Developed with raw materials sourced through a secure and ethically managed supply network, AQUACode can be implemented on existing presses without disruption.
