FUJIFILM announces that a large number of inks within its Uvijet UV range for wide format print applications received the Nordic Ecolabel certification. This further reinforces the company’s green credentials and its position as a world leader in the development of UV inkjet inks, underpinned by the ‘Sustainable Innovation’, ‘Manufacturing Champions’ and ‘Best Process Plant’ awards it has won in the last four years. The Nordic Ecolabel is a well-established and internationally recognised environmental labeling scheme that contributes to sustainable consumption and helps consumers identify environmentally-friendly products. The certification confirms FUJIFILM’s commitment to manufacture products that meet the highest quality and performance standards, according to the company’s internal ‘Design for Health, Safety and Environment’ policy regarding the use of chemicals.
The range of Uvijet inks that now carry the Nordic Ecolabel trademark include: Uvijet KI, KV, OZ, OB, OL, OW, QN, WH, WI and LL. Uvijet OB, OZ, OL and OW formulations have been developed for use with the Inca Onset range of printers. Uvijet OZ offers excellent finishing properties, while Uvijet OL is a low odour corrugated ink suitable for display and secondary packaging. The newly launched Uvijet OW ink offers improved adhesion properties, so that it can be used on a wider range of rigid and flexible plastic substrates.
