UV/EB Inks - Take a Sigh of Relief

Manufacturers unite

Will the new rules from the FDA and the Food Packaging Alliance mean it's back to the drawing board for ink manufactures, not necessarily said Bob Waddington, general manager, UVitec Printing Ink. "From an ink-manufacturing standpoint, we do not use any ingredients that are overtly hazardous or recognized as such in the manufacturing of our inks for such packaging," he said. Ink manufacturers have already taken a stand against using dangerous chemicals in their products.
