Ink defoamer is a kind of chemical agent designed to solve the foam problem caused by mixing, transfer or environmental factors during ink printing. It can quickly penetrate and destroy the foam wall, effectively inhibit the formation of foam, ensure the uniformity and stability of ink, and improve the quality and production efficiency of printed matter. Modern ink defoamers often use efficient and environmentally friendly formulas with strong adaptability and minimal impact on the ink system.
With the rapid development of the printing industry, especially the continuous expansion of packaging printing, advertising printing and other fields, the requirements for ink quality are increasingly increasing. The foam problem not only affects the printing speed, but also may lead to printing defects. Therefore, the market demand for ink defoamer continues to grow. Especially with the increasing awareness of environmental protection, there has been a surge in demand for low VOC (volatile organic compound) content and non-toxic defoamer products in the market.
In terms of the selection requirements of the ink defoamer, ensure that it is fully compatible with the ink system used, does not affect the ink color, gloss and printing performance, quickly defoams, and inhibits the regeneration of foam for a long time. In addition, it is necessary to choose defoamers that meet international environmental standards, have low VOC, are non-toxic and harmless. At the same time, comprehensive consideration should be given to the cost and effectiveness of use, and products with high cost-effectiveness should be selected.
Accurately calculate the amount of ink defoamer to avoid excessive or insufficient use. Add during the initial stage of ink stirring and mix thoroughly and evenly. Pay attention to storage conditions and avoid high temperature and humid environments. The effect of defoamer is evaluated by comparing the printing effect before and after use, such as foam amount, printing clarity, ink stability and other indicators. Meanwhile, pay attention to customer feedback and continuously optimize the usage plan.
Strictly follow the chemical safety operating procedures and wear protective equipment. Choose products that have passed environmental certification to reduce their impact on the environment. Waste must be properly disposed of in accordance with local regulations. Develop more bio based and biodegradable ink defoamers. Combining automated production lines to achieve precise addition and monitoring. Improve the overall performance of the product, such as enhancing ink flowability and improving printing adaptability.
