Low migration inks are specialized inks designed for use in packaging materials, especially for food, pharmaceuticals, and personal care products. These inks are formulated to minimize the risk of chemicals migrating from the packaging into the product, which could lead to contamination. In the context of dyes and pigments, low migration inks occupy a niche segment that requires strict compliance with regulations and standards pertaining to consumer safety. The inks are produced with a distinct set of pigments and vehicles that ensure their components do not easily transfer, by diffusion or set-off, under normal conditions. They are rigorously tested to meet the stringent requirements of food contact materials. Manufacturers of low migration inks must balance the need for high-performance qualities, such as color strength and durability, with the need to comply with safety standards. This often involves using advanced technologies and ingredients that are less likely to migrate and are approved for contact with consumable goods.
Notable companies in the low migration ink market include Sun Chemical, a member of the DIC group, which provides printing inks, pigments and related products. Flint Group offers a range of packaging inks and is also a significant player in the market. Siegwerk Druckfarben AG & Co. KGaA specializes in the formulation of inks designed for packaging applications, whereas TOYO INK CO., LTD. and hubergroup are additional key contributors, offering printing ink solutions tailored to limit migration concerns for the packaging industry.
