For the packaging inks industry, we offer increased visual value. The appeal and brand visibility of packaging depends greatly on the ink quality employed, which in turn is highly affected by the pigments used in the ink. Titanium dioxide, TiO2, is the most widely used white pigment in packaging ink applications, because it provides the best hiding power.
Our state-of-the-art offering for the packaging ink industry is tailored for flexible, metal as well as paper and board packaging applications. It is based on our vast experience of these markets and the unique properties of our various TiO2 grades. Our customers will get complete solutions encompassing world-class products and services. In the case of a need for tailor-made solutions, we are committed to developing new applications and products to help our customers reach their goals.
Consistent quality, reliability and specific developments in white pigments for packaging inks enable us to offer unique properties to our packaging industry customers:
- Highest opacity and gloss for packaging ink
- Superior dispersion to boost productivity and quality
- Less abrasion with the sulfate process used in the manufacturing of our TiO2 grades
