The potential of new environmentally friendly inks

On July 12, the "Beijing Olympic Games Construction Energy Environmental Protection Exhibition Promotion Conference" unveiled a mystery at the Beijing Venture Building. 42 new energy and renewable technology companies from Europe, the United States and China gathered together and hoped to contribute to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Among these are soybean oil ink manufacturers.

"Prints printed with soybean oil inks also have good abrasion resistance, and prints will not rub and fade. When printed matter printed with soybean oil ink is discarded, the recovered waste paper is easily deinked, and good quality recycled paper can be produced. ". The exhibitors of soybean oil production companies introduced this way.

According to another report, organic pigments used in soybean oil inks do not contain harmful metal elements such as lead, chromium, cadmium, mercury, arsenic, antimony, etc., which greatly improves the health and safety of inks. More importantly, soybean oil is used as a substitute for most or all petroleum-based mineral oils, which minimizes the environmental pollution caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and harms to human health.
