BoFood Mixing System MH
Migration harmless
- international patent application -
This series meets product wise all three requirements on food packaging. These are:
- Scent reduced,
- swelling reduced and
- migration reduced/harmless
BoFood MH inks are migration harmless. This means that in contrast to traditional low migration systems they show absorption and therefore a physical drying. Typographical they are therefore clearly superior to the classic low migration systems. And yet they fulfil all legal requirements in terms of food safety as the absorbing and therefore potential migrating components are foodstuffs or food additives themselves. This enables the usage of BoFood MH ink also for the production of primary food packaging.
The requirement of scent reduction calls for binding agents which do not comply with the common demands for rub resistance. Therefore dispersion varnishing is strictly necessary for all printing jobs with BoFood MH.
The principal application is mainly the printing of primary packaging for flavour sensitive filling.
| Properties: | |
|---|---|
| Scent reduced: | yes |
| Swelling reduced: | yes |
| Migration harmless: | yes |
Due to these properties all requirements towards total migration (< 60 ppm) as well as the specific migration (< 10 ppb) for non-evaluated substances can be fulfilled product wise. A barrier coating in order to comply with the legal demands of the regulation 1935/2004 EG is not necessary product wise.
| Mineral oil free: | yes |
| Absorption: | yes |
| Primary food packaging: | appropriate |
| Dispersion varnishing: | necessary |
Conformity with 1935/2004 EC
The confirmation of an independent institute in regard to conformity of printing with BoFood MH inks is available.
The BoFood MH mixing system consist of 12 basic inks plus black and transparent white.
