Polyurethane Resin for Ink

Polyurethane resin for ink, as an important component of modern printing industry, has become a leader among many printing materials due to its excellent performance and wide application fields. This resin not only has excellent physical and chemical properties, but also exhibits good adaptability and stability during the printing process, providing strong guarantees for the quality and effect of printed products. Its development trend mainly presents the following significant directions:

1. Green transformation accelerates

With the increasing global awareness of environmental protection and the deepening of the concept of sustainable development, polyurethane resin for ink is accelerating its transformation towards green. This is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
Low VOC products: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one of the important factors causing environmental pollution. Therefore, the development of polyurethane resins with low or no VOCs has become an important trend in the industry. By improving production processes and formulas, reducing the emission of harmful substances, and enhancing the environmental performance of products.
Waterborne polyurethane resin: Waterborne polyurethane resin has attracted widespread attention due to its environmental friendliness, non toxicity, and ease of operation. It can not only reduce environmental pollution, but also improve the printing performance and adaptability of ink. In the future, the application of water-based polyurethane resin in ink will be more extensive.

Biobased polyurethane resin: Using renewable resources such as vegetable oil, starch, etc. to prepare biobased polyurethane resin is another effective way to achieve ink greening. This resin not only has excellent performance, but also reduces dependence on non renewable resources such as petroleum.

2. Driven by technological innovation

Technological innovation is an important driving force for the development of polyurethane resin for ink. In the future, the following aspects will become the focus of technological innovation:
New curing technology: Developing more efficient and environmentally friendly curing technologies, such as ultraviolet curing, electron beam curing, etc., can significantly improve the drying speed and printing efficiency of ink.
Dispersion and emulsification technology: Improve the dispersion and emulsification technology of polyurethane resin to better mix it evenly with pigments, fillers, etc., and improve the stability and printing effect of ink.

Functional modification: By introducing special functional groups or nanoparticles and other functional modification methods, polyurethane resin is endowed with more excellent properties, such as higher glossiness, stronger adhesion, better wear resistance, etc.

3. Personalized and customized demand growth

With the intensification of market competition and the diversification of consumer demand, personalized and customized services have become an important direction for the development of polyurethane resin for ink. This is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
