Safety first when working with solvent inks!
Dear ,
Solvent inks contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that easily evaporate – and while this assists fast drying and production speeds, it also makes them highly flammable.
In our latest InkConnection blog, we explain the safety risks associated with solvent inks, and reveal the steps printers must take to assure workplace and equipment safety in explosive atmospheres.
Compliance with ATEX and IECEx
We look at international legislation and safety standards that cover this specific area – and what printers must do to comply. This includes the ATEX Directives that set minimum legal standards across the EU and in the UK, as well as the globally recognized IECEx certification system for equipment.
Safety-compliant ink dispensing
These standards have implications for ink dispensing. Thankfully, there are safety-compliant ink dispensers that meet the highest standards for making spot colours with solvent inks, in flexo, gravure and screen!

We wish you profitable reading!
