The two Germany-based companies have launched the HYDRO-X GA/MGA flexo product range, a modular user system for the production of packaging inks said to offer maximum quality and economy.
Hubergroup – a leading manufacturer of inks, lacquers and printing auxiliaries – 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.
Heubach, which has been manufacturing pigments for over 200 years, is producing water-based pigment preparations developed jointly with Hubergroup, which are said to offer “excellent colour 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.”
Hubergroup says it represents “the ideal starting point” for a wide range of ink formulations using just a few system components.
