Inks and varnishes with renewable raw materias: Joncryl® BRC

Joncryl® BRC, our new range of water-based binders, gives the opportunity to formulate inks and varnishes based partly on bio-based / renewable raw materials.

The new product line contains at least 50% (on solids) Bio Renewable Content. Joncryl® BRC reduce the amount of fossil resources for a more sustainable packaging future.

 

Perfect fit for Ink & OPV for paper-based substrates with excellent printability properties

The water-based Bio-hybrid binders combine renewable and conventional raw materials. Their bio-based content is verified through 14C analysis. Compared to products fully based on fossil resources, they offer a lower environmental impact due to a lower Product Carbon Footprint, as confirmed by ISO-based Life Cycle Assessments. They also provide broad (direct) food contact approvals and comply with relevant regulations like Swiss Ordinance, glycol ether free.
