Bio-Based Mineral-Oil-Free Inks
Bio-Based Mineral-Oil-Free (MOF) inkjet inks for piezo printing technology offer an eco-friendly alternative for the marking and coding of porous paper and cardboard secondary packaging. These eco-conscious inks meet compliance requirements for increasingly stringent environmental legislation and regulations around the world.
More Sustainable Inkjet Inks for Food and Pharmaceutical Packaging
MOF (Mineral-Oil-Free) inks from Kao Collins have been engineered as a direct replacement for petroleum-based inks. These MOF inks help customers meet European food safety standards and reduce the carbon footprint of industrial inkjet printing, especially for packaging applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
