Water-based ink partnership
Ink expert hubergroup and pigment specialist Heubach have joined forces in a strategic partnership for water-based inks.
As part of the collaboration, Heubach, which has been manufacturing pigments for over 200 years, is producing water-based pigment preparations developed jointly with hubergroup that reportedly offer excellent colour strength and gloss and outstanding shock stability.
Hubergroup has combined these basic concentrates with other components to form a new water-based flexo printing ink system that suits a wide range of applications.
The collaboration has resulted in the Hydro-X GA/MGA product range, a modular user system for the production of packaging inks. hubergroup is offering the Hydro-X system in two versions: GA for GMP-compliant production and the premium variant MGA for reliability in terms of migration, for packaging that comes into indirect contact with food.
