- Applications
- The Swada EBT Series are especially formulated for use in Flexographic and Gravure ink formulations and give excellent printability, transparency and color. The addition of Brightener 22 to the formulation will improve the overall color purity and brightness. As well as maintaining excellent color strength, the use of Brightener 22 can also reduce the overall cost of the ink. The Swada EBT Series can also be blended with white to produce extremely bright pastel colors. Fluorescent Flexographic and Gravure inks are printed at very low film weights and therefore have limited lightfastness. It is recommended that these inks be printed onto products designed for indoor applications. The Swada EBT Series are completely soluble in various polar solvents commonly used in the Flexographic industry. Using the EBT series in a mixture of alcohol and ester solvents results in a solution of sub - micron particle size, so requiring no need for any further milling. The Swada EBT Series can be easily blended to provide a range of fluorescent shades. Other shades may be obtained by blending with pastes of conventional pigments and dyes.

Regulatory & Compliance
- Certifications & Compliance
- Regulatory Information
- Compliance with Swiss packaging inks Ordinance: All ingredients used in the manufacture of Swada EBT Series are included in Annex 1 (list 1 and 2) andAnnex 6 of the above regulation or are shown in the subsequent addendum within Letter 153
- Resolution AP (89) 1 - Colorants for Plastics in Contact with Food: In certain conditions migration of the dye from the resin may occur. It is necessary that the end userconducts their own tests on the final product to determine if migration will occur.
- Heavy Metal Content: Analysis of the total amount of heavy metals on typical batches of Swada EBT Series show that these are below the allowable limits given in Resolution AP (89) 1.
