Cracking the PAHs Puzzle: A Top Challenge for Ink Manufacturers

[Abstract] Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are potent carcinogens that pose a headache for ink manufacturers due to their ease of exceeding environmental standards and potential for severe harm to both the environment and human health. Long-term exposure or ingestion of substances containing PAHs increases the risk of cancer, affects reproduction and development. In order to solve this problem, Tefisen has developed the TS600-300 series of inks that comply with PAHs Category 1 environmental standards. Ink manufacturers face significant challenges with the PAHs environmental standard, as it is easy to exceed. Even if the ink itself complies, there is a risk of contamination during any stage of the printing process, such as from ink blades or ink cups. Exaggerating s...
