Ink supplier Hubergroup and pigment specialist Heubach have joined forces in a strategic partnership for water-based inks.
Heubach is now producing water-based pigment preparations developed jointly with hubergroup, said to offer excellent color strength and gloss, and outstanding shock stability.
Hubergroup combines these basic concentrates with other specially designed components to form a new water-based flexo printing ink system that "perfectly meets the modern requirements of the packaging industry for an extremely wide range of applications".
The result is the new Hydro-X GA/MGA product range, a modular user system for the production of packaging inks offering maximum quality and economy.
Hubergroup is offering the new system in two versions: GA for GMP-compliant production and the premium variant MGA for maximum reliability in terms of migration, for packaging that comes into indirect contact with food.
