Voc-free and low-Voc inks refer to inks that release extremely low or zero levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air during production, use, and disposal. The main components of these inks include resins, pigments, water, and/or bio-based solvents, aiming to reduce environmental pollution and harm to human health. The advantages of Voc-Free and Low-Voc Inks lie in their environmental friendliness and health benefits. These inks produce almost no harmful VOCs during the printing process, contributing to reduced air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, using these inks can reduce health risks for printing operators, such as respiratory diseases and skin irritation. Furthermore, Voc-Free and Low-Voc Inks exhibit good printing adaptability and color rendering capabilities. These inks can uniformly and finely adhere to the substrate, delivering good color effects and gloss. With the increasing awareness of environmental protection, Voc-Free and Low-Voc Inks are becoming more widely used in the printing industry, forming an important part of green printing.

Global key Voc-Free and Low-Voc Inks players cover Daihei Ink, Toyo Ink, Kingswood Inks, Domino-Printing, Kao Advanced Printing Solutions, etc.
