Corresponding to the Swiss firm, previous bio-based pigments have actually strained to match the different colors fastness of synthetic possibilities, and also their color high quality as well as creation efficiency have actually not sufficed for commercial-scale development.
The new system consists of Printofix Afro-american NTR-TF, a non-gelling pigment dark along with 79 percent sustainable carbon dioxide information Helizarin NTR-SS, a formaldehyde-free super-soft binder along with 40 percent renewable carbon dioxide material and also the Luprintol Correcting Broker NTR-HF, a formaldehyde-free dealing with representative along with 40 percent renewable carbon material.
