BURLINGTON, ON, Sept. 25, 2014 /CNW/ - EcoSynthetix Inc. (TSX: ECO), a
renewable chemicals company that produces a family of commercially
proven bio-based products, today announced the introduction of a new
line of EcoSphere® grades that are specifically formulated for inkjet paper coatings.
Compatible with dye, pigment and hybrid-based high-speed inkjet printing
processes, these products offer paper manufacturers, publishers and
commercial printers excellent print quality with a simpler, more
cost-effective and sustainable product. Traditional inkjet printing
using dye-based inks requires the use of both a petroleum-based
fixative and binder in the paper coating formulation. Part of these new
offerings fully replaces both of these non-renewable chemicals with a
single, bio-based additive. EcoSynthetix has filed a patent application
covering this innovation.
For high-speed inkjet printers using pigment-based inks, EcoSynthetix is
introducing new EcoSphere technology that fully replaces the
petroleum-based binders used in the paper coating formulation with a
renewable offering.
"Digital printing is a rapidly growing market in which paper makers,
publishers and printers are continuously searching for additional ways
to deliver value to customers. Our new offerings for the inkjet market
allow customers to fully replace petroleum-based ingredients with a
single, sustainable offering," said John van Leeuwen, Chief Executive
Officer of EcoSynthetix. "These new products provide a cost-effective
way for customers to differentiate themselves with an environmentally
friendly solution."
Visitors to booth 3452 at GraphExpo 2014 will be able to learn more
about the EcoSynthetix' newly launched grades of EcoSphere technology
for inkjet printing market. Held at the McCormick Center in Chicago
from September 28-October 1, GraphExpo is one of the graphic
communications industry's largest exhibit and conference events.
