BURLINGTON, ON, Sept. 25, 2014 /CNW/ - EcoSynthetix Inc. (TSX:
ECO), a renewable chemicals company that produces a family of
commercially proven bio-based products, today announced the
introduction of a new line of EcoSphere® grades that are
specifically formulated for inkjet paper coatings.
Compatible with dye, pigment and hybrid-based high-speed inkjet
printing processes, these products offer paper manufacturers,
publishers and commercial printers excellent print quality with a
simpler, more cost-effective and sustainable product. Traditional
inkjet printing using dye-based inks requires the use of both a
petroleum-based fixative and binder in the paper coating
formulation. Part of these new offerings fully replaces both of
these non-renewable chemicals with a single, bio-based additive.
EcoSynthetix has filed a patent application covering this
innovation.
For high-speed inkjet printers using pigment-based inks,
EcoSynthetix is introducing new EcoSphere technology that fully
replaces the petroleum-based binders used in the paper coating
formulation with a renewable offering.
"Digital printing is a rapidly growing market in which paper
makers, publishers and printers are continuously searching for
additional ways to deliver value to customers. Our new offerings
for the inkjet market allow customers to fully replace
petroleum-based ingredients with a single, sustainable offering,"
said John van Leeuwen, Chief
Executive Officer of EcoSynthetix. "These new products provide a
cost-effective way for customers to differentiate themselves with
an environmentally friendly solution."
Visitors to booth 3452 at GraphExpo 2014 will be able to learn
more about the EcoSynthetix' newly launched grades of EcoSphere
technology for inkjet printing market. Held at the McCormick Center
in Chicago from September 28-October 1, GraphExpo is one of the
graphic communications industry's largest exhibit and conference
events.
