Contributed to the advantages of quick-drying, bright color, excellent tolerance and ideal printing effects, solvent-based printing ink has been the dominant decorative materials after almost 40 years of development. The word “SOLVENT “means that chemicals with high solvent power for Resin, such as toluene, butanone, ethyl acetate, are used for production, which lead to low viscosity, favorable fluidity and leveling property, meeting the demands of intricate patterns and high-speed printing.

The solvent-based printing ink widely applied to: wallpaper, PVC edge banding, PVC furniture film etc.

The substrate of printed wallpaper is based paper and surface coating. Through the way of shower-coating, the base paper is covered with PVC/PE coating, which can directly influence the properties of ink .The wallpaper printing process consists of pattern printing, embossing and forming. And the embossing is conducted in the temperature of about 180 degrees, which requires ink with certain heat- resistance, otherwise the ink may discolor and the pattern may defect. At the same time, washing- resistance and light-resistance also matter a lot.

The main resin used in ink for flooring or furniture is vinegar chloride resin, which is determined by the good qualities it has: favorable tenacity of formed film, great flexural endurance, excellent tear- resistance, superb adhesion to all kinds of porous surface. Most factories adopt to gravure printing to ensure high-speed printing. The printing substrate of flooring or furniture is PVC film. Print patterns on the soft PVC surface, and bond it with hard PVC sheet using the stickiness of ink itself under hot-pressing condition. the end-product has features of wear-resistance, light-resistance, and solvent-resistance.
