The characteristics of the water-based film of the packaged color printing film

The development of the color printing and packaging industry has advanced by leaps and bounds in recent years. In the Pearl River Delta alone, there are more than 1,000 packaging and printing enterprises with a certain scale, and more than 90% of the enterprises have better economic returns. An important link in the production of color printing and packaging is the coating after color printing or the decoration of paper and plastic laminating. Now the means of packaging products mainly rely on laminating or polishing, all of which are for advertising brochures, books and magazines, notebook covers, product packaging and signage.

For surface coating or glossing, there are a variety of decorative methods available, such as:

1 Cover BOPP, PE or PVC plastic film with water-based film;

2 The plastic film is covered with an organic solvent type cover film;

3 Cover plastic film with pre-coated adhesive plastic film;

4 Directly use high-grade coated paper that has been coated with a light coating agent, and no longer coat or film after printing;

5 After the printing, the upper aqueous varnish is painted on the surface;

6 Surface coating with organic solvent type varnish;

7 Curing varnish with UV light, etc. Correct understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of these surface decoration methods, how their respective vitality, and future development trends, not only for the packaging and printing industry is extremely important, the development and production of related adhesives, coating oil, finishing agent, plastic film, The production/supplier of laminating and coating machines is also extremely important.

First of all, we talk about the performance and use characteristics of water-based film adhesive. It is a white emulsion adhesive with water as dispersant and polymer as disperse phase. The real water-based film adhesive should not contain any organic solvents. Residual organic monomer should be less than 0.1%, smelling odorless or slightly alcohol or ester odor. Good water-based plastic film can be used in water-based machines, can also be used for oily machines, water-based machine structure is simple, cheap (2.5 ~ 100,000 yuan / Taiwan), driving speed, generally two times the speed of oil-based machines to drive. The good waterborne rubber solid content is about 1 times higher than that of the oily glue, and it is wet lamination. After the lamination, the paper fiber absorbs and releases water to make the glue dry and transparent, and it is firmly bonded to the plastic film.

The water-based adhesive film has better glossiness and whiteness than the organic solvent-type film adhesive, and the adhesive force is also comparable to that of the solvent-type adhesive; and the water-based adhesive water-based machine coating adopts a cold-adhesion method without heating and drying, and can be used in a large amount. Save energy; due to the high water-based gel solid content, the same kind of water-based glue than solvent gel coating area of ​​more than 50%, so the water-based adhesive film product cost is much lower than the solvent glue; due to water-based adhesive does not contain toxic, easy Burning, explosive, and organic solvents that pollute the environment can also reduce the chance of fire. Because of the advantages of water-based adhesives, it has developed rapidly in recent years and has gradually become the main theme of the market.
