PolyOne Corporation announced an innovative addition to its line of non-phthalate Wilflex Epic Series Screen Printing Inks. The new offering, Wilflex Epic Warrior LB White, is a general purpose, non-phthalate white that can be used as an underbase flash white or as a highlight white on a variety of substrates.
This high-performance white, configured to work on both 100% cotton and the full range of poly/cotton blend combinations, eliminates the need to stock multiple, general-purpose whites for specific textile blends.
Frank Burkus, marketing and technology director for PolyOne Wilflex Inks said, “This expansion of our line of Wilflex Epic non-phthalate inks can increase the efficiency of our customers' ink rooms. PolyOne's advanced, non-phthalate ink technology and focus on ink room management helps our customers win in a highly competitive marketplace.”
Wilflex Epic Warrior LB White offers superior printability and a smooth, bright surface with an excellent matte finish. The odorless ink has a fast flash time with low after-tack. It has superior opacity and can be used where moderate bleed resistance is required.
Products in the Wilflex Epic ink line do not contain phthalates and are compliant with a number of regulations, including:
• CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act) 2008, Section 101, Lead Content in Substrates (<100 ppm lead) • 16 CFR, Part 1303, Lead in Paint (<90 ppm lead) • CPSIA 2008, Section 108, Phthalates (<.1% DEHP, DBP, BBP, DINP, DIDP, DNOP) • Eco-Passport Certified
