Chenbro electronics, as a printing and packaging markets, technology and production processes are familiar with the professional factory, its main business of domestic processing and uv equipment sales in Europe and America a first-class professional EB equipment, materials, components, and engaged in the drying process , woodworking machinery and equipment and technical aspects of professional advice. Voice rising in environmental protection today, the same Chenbro saw potential in environmental protection under the business several years ago will be the introduction of electron beam (EB), ultraviolet (UV), infrared (IR), such as drying systems; Waterborne , UV Varnish and inks and other products. As the process of walking in the forefront of environmental protection enterprises, is how to look at environmental protection ink? We special interview with Mr. Wu, chairman of the company (hereinafter referred to as "Miss").
Green no "impurities"
Reporter: How do you understand the "green ink" of the concept?
Wu: green ink should be completely free of volatile organic solvents, including ethanol, propanol, such as alcohols, and it can not contain benzene, esters and other ingredients.
Reporter: How the definition of the domestic market green ink?
Wu: the domestic environmental protection awareness of the existence of ink the fallacy that: aquifer ingredients or milky white varnished ink is water-based environmental protection. The concept of emulsion: As the water and resin is not miscibility through "external force" mix of "external force" would be active agent or other solvents.
Some ink production business "with" the word to describe emulsified products, but the "combination" refers to two things more closely together, not separately basically, and I think that dissolve more accurately - good to deal with together.
The reason to talk about emulsification, because a lot of ink domestic product, although referred to as water-based ink, but in fact it added a lot of alcohol and ester, such as not environmentally friendly ingredients. Have this understanding or misunderstanding the definition lies in the fact that domestic manufacturers of the definition of green ink too loose, and the user has the understanding of environment-friendly ink are more ambiguous, so the environmental non-environmentally friendly ink phenomenon.
Reporter: What is the situation abroad do?
Wu: In foreign countries, ink VOC content of up to 2 percent in the following, or even non-VOC products, can be called the environmental-friendly ink.
For ink production, foreign meticulous production standards and specifications in the product, the product clearly stated whether it contains VOC, which type of VOC, the number of content. In the United States, not only in the ink products, in all printed materials containing VOC are not allowed, and if production needs, it must be post-combustion equipment installed to ensure that no VOC release. Its environmental protection work throughout the entire print production process, there are the end of the first. The United States for environmentally friendly products ink definition, it is worth our domestic Tongren learning.
Reporter: domestic and foreign environmental-friendly ink, the difference in the VOC content on it?
Wu: The main point is that, this is the key point, as well as technically difficult. U.S. products have been able to reach there is no VOC, in the country, production technology can not reach this level.
EB pushing ink
Reporter: Chenbro this year will focus on the introduction of electronic which products? Please briefly outline.
Wu: The main is the electron beam curing ink (EB ink). It is a high-energy electron beam irradiation can quickly from liquid into solid ink, the new environmental-friendly ink. The main advantage of EB ink is not pollute the environment, its components also does not contain harmful volatile organic substances, to run low-cost, high efficiency, low energy consumption, printing quality, consistency, and print high-gloss, three-dimensional sense Strong.
EB inks with VOC, the operators of small health hazards, odor small, without Photoinitiators, online direct dry, on-line operations, etc. by the users of all ages. Compared with the UV ink, EB ink not need Photoinitiators, but faster curing, curing more thorough, smell even smaller, which increases the room for the development of EB ink is our year to promote practical, economical ink . EB is now in the flexible packaging printing ink was a growing trend, users generally applauded.
EB ink superior performance and higher productivity, to provide users with a broader market. EB Ink believe that the scope of application will be further expanded to become the new environmental-friendly ink an important species.
Reporter: packaging printing ink business investment and EB ink, the attention to what?
Wu: The enterprise in printing ink and related equipment investment, we must pay attention to the concept of energy conservation, this is an important element of environmental protection. Especially in the choice of drying system, it is necessary to purchase energy-efficient products, this is a very important point.
For example: a printing business, one of Taiwan's press has five drying system, a total investment of 60 million, while Henry's one million electron beam curing equipment to three million yuan, printing enterprises will choose that course, 600,000 yuan The drying system has been the most cost-effective. But neglecting the issue, which is in the investment cost of 600,000 yuan, after the costs continue to increase. This general drying system, to spend a lot of energy, not only this, there are still emissions, if one day cleaning up the environmental protection department requested emissions enterprises, the enterprises should also increase the cost of waste gas treatment. In addition, many of the current domestic rate of drying system is about 100 meters / hour or so, if the production rate again soon, on the drying rate can not keep up, the efficiency can not be increased. And Henry million electron beam curing equipment are generally 300 to 400 meters / hour.
In this way, a series of cumulative costs, not only energy, but also reduce the production efficiency.
Reporter: EB inks and related equipment for the printing industry there any special requirements?
Wu: There are no special requirements, so in the investment of their less demanding, I believe that as long as there is investment, there will be a return.
Environmental imminent
Reporter: China's environmental protection ink development process going on?
Wu: The entire ink industry is moving in a good direction, but I think the speed of this process should be accelerated, because time is fairly tight. At present, China's ink and the printing industry's environmental development, is still a lack of effective monitoring, the printing industry's environmental problems, has not yet attracted the attention to the relevant departments.
Environmental protection of personal injury, damage to the atmosphere is a cycle process. In the production process inks and printing process, the non-green ink will harm people, packaging and then contaminated food, the last time as a packaging waste disposal, will infiltrate the rivers and the earth, on the whole environment.
Took place in foreign countries because a lot of food packaging products harm incidents, many enterprises have to pay a painful price for the economy and reputation, so the entire country on the degree of importance attached to this incident than the Chinese. If you do not take it more seriously, which will eventually be a price to pay for the most realistic price is the expense of people's health or even life.
Reporter: China's environmental protection ink technology with international practice there is still a certain gap, we should be how to face the current situation?
Wu: China to develop environmentally friendly ink technology is indeed, in some slightly backward, and when Solution of the alcohol content is low, almost would not have printed, this is also technical difficulties.
Technically there is a gap, VOC content does not drop down a short period of time does not matter, it is important that we must face the problem squarely. For users, should have the right to know, know what products to use the number of VOC content in the end, the United States What is the criteria for what is standard in China, in Shanghai, then what is the standard, so that the industry as a whole showed a transparent状态.
For the ink to the process of environmental development is undoubtedly is the right direction before there and take the fast it is another matter, but if we do not face up to, "Green China" can only be a beautiful dream. |
