Sun Chemical is set to introduce new environmentally friendly ink for pad printing at the K 2016 event in Germany.

The event will take place from 19 to 26 October in Düsseldorf.

Sun Chemical, along with its German screen printing division Coates Screen Inks GmbH, will unveil the new regulatory compliant ink that was developed for a wide range of substrates and applications.

Part of the SunPad range of inks, the new ink can be  applied to multiple substrates  such as  hard PVC, acrylic, polystyrene, duroplastics, polyester, thermoplastics, metals and varnished surfaces.

It can be used in a range of applications, including bottle caps, medical syringes, toys, mobile phones and others.

The new ink does not include raw materials such as BPA, cyclohexanone, butyl glycolate and aromatic hydrocarbons, making it suitable for food, drink and medical applications.

The company will also exhibit a range of functional and decorative products for plastic and rubber applications in the event.

At the event, the firm will exhibit its SunHytek for automotive and hitech applications, SunCarte for laminated plastic cards, SunPromo graphic inks for plastic applications and SunPoly plastic container inks.

Sun Chemical industrial and graphics Europe screen division product manager Robin McMillan said: “The K show is a great platform for us to present our industrial and screen inks to these varied market sectors.

“K has a strong visitor audience across a number of industries for plastics and rubber applications and following the success we saw at K 2013, it’s only natural for us to exhibit again.”
