Study of PLA Printability with Flexography Ink: Comparison with Common Packaging Polymer
author
Abstract:
Today, the economic consumption of biodegradable polymers is of capital importance in many applications. One of the most commonly used biopolymers is polylactic acid (PLA). The printability of the biodegradable film has not been fully investigated. This work tested the printability of polylactic acid (PLA) films and compared the print qualities to common packaging films like low density polyethylene (LDPE), corona treated LDPE, polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Solvent -based flexo ink was applied to test the printability of the films. The surface tension of films and densitometry of printed samples were evaluated. Also the inks adhesion to the substrate as an essential parameters that influence the quality of printed samples were measured. It has been found that the PLA can be successfully printed with flexographic solvent inks and could achieve similar quality to common packaging films.

Preparation of Reversible Thermochromic Ink for Flexography Printing on Paper and Study its Colorimetric Properties
Thermochromic printing inks could be security inks which respond to the color change when are being exposed to different temperatures. These inks with unusual chemical and physical specific characteristics are mostly produced for flexographic, screen and rotogravure printing systems under the supervision of skilled technical experts and with precise security controls. Since flexographic thermoc...
