Solfree Ink: A Breakthrough for Sustainable Packaging in Vietnam

In the modern packaging printing industry, choosing the right ink is essential—not only for visual quality but also for meeting international food safety standards. Solfree ink has emerged as a leading solution, combining high printing performance with environmental responsibility.

In Vietnam, Melchers Vietnam is the exclusive distributor of Solfree ink, helping Offset and Flexo printing companies adopt safer and more sustainable packaging solutions.

WHAT IS SOLFREE INK? A NEW STANDARD FOR GREEN PRINTING

Solfree ink is a mineral oil-free ink designed for sensitive applications such as children’s books and food packaging.

KEY FEATURES

  • Plant-based ingredients: Uses soybean oil and eco-friendly organic compounds instead of harmful mineral oils
  • Food-safe formulation: Eliminates toxic hydrocarbons commonly found in conventional inks
  • High performance: Ensures strong adhesion and smooth printing on multiple surfaces

By removing mineral oils, Solfree redefines what “green ink” means in modern packaging.

SOLFREE INK VS CONVENTIONAL INK: KEY DIFFERENCES

1. Food Safety and Migration Control

Traditional inks often contain MOSH and MOAH, which can migrate into food products and pose health risks.

Solfree ink is MOAH/MOSH-free, making it compliant with FDA and EU food safety standards—a critical factor for export packaging.

2. Printing Performance and Durability

There is a common misconception that eco-friendly inks compromise quality. Solfree proves otherwise:

  • Abrasion resistance: 4.5/5 (higher than conventional inks at ~3.0)
  • Fast drying: Reduces set-off and increases production efficiency
  • Consistent output: Ideal for high-volume printing jobs

 

3. Surface Compatibility

Solfree ink performs reliably across a wide range of materials:

  • Coated paper
  • Cardboard
  • Complex packaging surfaces

This versatility ensures sharp images, stable color quality, and consistent gloss.
