FDA and BfR approved surface treatment agent
Surface treatment agents approved by FDA and BfR (regulations related to food packaging materials)
We introduce surface modifiers that solve issues related to the surfaces of ink films and coating films. Recently, meeting regulations concerning food packaging materials has become a priority in the formulation design of printing inks. We have selected about 20 products from over 100 surface modifiers offered by BYK that are approved by the FDA and BfR. These products address challenges such as wettability on substrates, surface slip properties, smoothing of coating film surfaces (leveling properties), and reduction of dynamic surface tension.
