New mineral oil-free Aquador® MOF series

Roth-Barnsdorf, 11.01.2022

The new mineral oil-free Aquador® MOF series expands our bronze pigment portfolio and enables customers to formulate state of the art water based gold inks matching the regulatory requirements of today.

Mineral oils used in printing inks in the packaging supply chain present significant issues for environmental safety (paper/board recycling stream) and end-consumer’s safety. Metaprint® FlexoCare aqua ink series - which was already introduced by SCHLENK in 2017 - is well established in the ink industry as a press ready water based flexographic metallic ink series to address these concerns.

The new Aquador® MOF series is based on SCHLENK Multiprint® leafing gold bronze pigments and has the same great performance customers have known for many years from our Aquador® WP paste. This new water based technology will be available for all types of bronze pigments in the near future.
