Many water-based ink manufacturers face a troublesome problem: after ink film drying, the printed surface is easy to scratch during packaging and transportation. The scratched marks damage the appearance of packaging and bring high reject rates.
A packaging ink R&D engineer contacted BATON with this issue. Their existing additive could not balance scratch resistance and ink transparency. After in-depth analysis of their formula system, our technical team recommended modified PE wax emulsion.
We adjusted the wax particle size and melting point of the product. After lab testing and mass production verification: • The ink film got better surface slip and scratch resistance • No negative impact on ink gloss and transparency • Excellent compatibility with their original water-based system • Greatly reduced waste caused by surface scratches
PE wax emulsion is one of the most widely used additives in water-based ink. It provides surface protection without breaking the stability of ink formula.
