From the analysis of the formation mechanism of printing fastness and test methods, we can better understand the way to improve the printing fastness (mainly on the polyurethane film for discussion).1. Selection of raw materials In the production of plastic film should be selected when the raw material does not contain or less plastic additives. We can judge the content of additives according to the technical information about the grade, performance and use of the resin. When we have to use raw materials containing more additives, we should also mix them with those without additives. The reason for this choice is that in the process of forming and placing the folding out of the additives will form a film of oil, thus weakening the adhesion of the ink on the film.2. Raw material modification 1) blending modification: polyolefin and printing performance of polymers blended to improve printing performance is a newly developed compelling method. For example, with polyacrylic resin modified high-density polyethylene greatly improve the adhesion of ink to polyethylene, when which is mixed with 5-20% of polymethacrylic acid early ester (PMMA), the above-mentioned adhesion increased by seven times. Again, such as with more chlorine content of chlorinated polyethylene work mixing, only a small amount can be added to significantly improve the adhesion of polyethylene and oil black. When mixed with 5% CPE-55 blends and ink bonding than (chun) HDPE three times higher. According to another report, some plastic polymer processing aids (rheology modifiers, etc.), in addition to improve yield, eliminate melt rupture, but also has to improve the role of printing adhesion. Add polyacrylic acid resin or chlorinated polypropylene and other reasons to improve the printability of HDPE is based on their poor compatibility with HDPE, when it is in the HDPE as the substrate of the blending system constitutes a dispersed phase and live in the open film surface layer, is obviously conducive to the adhesion with the ink. (2) grafting modification: grafting modification is the use of radiation and other methods to make the polyolefin points to grafting reaction so as to make the polyolefin macromolecular chain with polarity and thus improve the wettability of the material to the ink. Such as maleic anhydride or acrylic acid graft modification of linear density polyethylene after the improvement of its printability. 3) other methods of modification: such as in the polyolefin doped with a small amount of maleic anhydride or its anhydride, but also to a greater extent to improve the polyolefin film ink fastness to print.3. Printing ink fastness in the printing ink fastness problem, the ink also plays a decisive role. Of course, for different substrates should use its corresponding ink. For example, for cellophane can use nitro cellophane resin ink; for polypropylene film can use chlorinated polypropylene resin ink; for polyethylene film can use polyamide resin ink, and so on. I...

The packaging of candy has three main functions. First, it protects the luster, fragrance, and shape of the product and extends its shelf life; second, it prevents microbial and dust contamination and improves product hygiene and safety; third, exquisite product packaging can enhance consumer awareness, purchase desire and commodity value. The packaging forms of candy mainly include twist packaging, pillow packaging, and folding packaging. Twist packaging is the oldest form of packaging. This packaging form is mostly used for candies. Pillow packaging machines are more popular. Most candy manufacturers currently use pillow packaging, while folding packaging is mostly used for chocolate products.   The protective function of packaging is directly related to the quality of candy. Since the ingredients of candies themselves vary greatly, packagers have different requirements for the selection of packaging materials for different types of candies. Candies with a low water content are prone to moisture absorption, causing the product to shrivel and become sandy; candies with a high water content are prone to shrinkage and mildew, and ingredients such as starch and butter are prone to oxidation and deterioration when exposed to oxygen. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the gas and moisture-proof functions of candy packaging.   Testing of packaging barrier properties: Since the intervention of oxygen and water vapor will cause the deterioration of candy, it is very important to control the oxygen content and water vapor content in the air environment around the candy. This requires controlling the barrier properties of candy packaging materials and the overall packaging. Oxygen Transmission Rate Analyzer Water Vapor Transmission Rate Analyzer Testing of packaging sealing performance: The testing object of sealing performance is the leakage point of the package. By conducting sealing performance testing, data such as the maximum pressure of the packaging and leakage points can be obtained. The GBM-D1 intelligent sealing performance tester can be used with different fixtures to test packaging for bursting, leakage, creep, bubbles, etc. Intelligent Leakage & Sealing Performance Tester   Testing of packaging pressure resistance and burst resistance: This testing index can be used to measure the pressure resistance performance of candy packaging and to evaluate the pressure resistance performance of candy packaging during storage, transportation, and sales display. The GBN200G pressure resistance tester is suitable for Test the pressure resistance and bursting strength of various packaging bags. Pressure Resistance Tester   Testing of the peeling force of packaging and the mechanical properties of packaging materials: The sealing strength of candy packaging is insufficient, which can easily cause sealing problems during storage, transportation and shelf display of the candy.  If he sealing strength of packaging is to...

Paper cups are one of the main disposable packaging containers. The general raw materials of disposable paper cups are food-grade wood pulp paper and food-grade PE film, although the outer layer is paper, but the contact with food is the inner plastic film. In the process of use, disposable paper cups usually come into contact with high temperature, acidic and alkaline liquids, and if the paper cups contain more migratory substances, this will migrate to the human body through the food in the process of use, which will have an impact on human health.   In order to ensure its safety，worldwide countries have established their own designated food contact materials testing regulations, such as the U.S. FDA 21 CFR, the European Union EU NO 10/2011, Germany LFGB, France DGCCRF, Japan JFSL 370, Italy D.M.21/03/73, UK SI 898, China GB 4806, GB 9685, GB-31604.8.   Experimental principles The migration test is performed by selecting the appropriate pretreatment conditions and food simulants according to the characteristics of the food products to which the samples will be exposed in the actual use scenario. The evaporator cup is heated at a set temperature, cooled, weighed, and the procedure is repeated until a constant weight is reached. The simulants were added into the evaporation cup, evaporated in a water bath, dried in a chamber heated to 105℃, and cooled. After the evaporation dish is cooled, the constant weight is determined by a balance (with a sensitivity of 0.01mg), and the experiment is terminated to meet the constant weight requirement of the project. Full-Automatic Total Migration Tester ZF900   Experimental conditions Food simulants selected 4% acetic acid (v/v) and 20% ethanol (v/v); experimental conditions for 70 ℃, 2h; samples for disposable paper cups using the filling method, paper cups filled volume of 150mL food simulants ,S according to the actual contact area for calculation, the number of samples for a blank and 2 parallel samples.   The experimental process A food simulant of V=150mL was measured in a measuring cylinder, filled into a disposable cup, sealed with two layers of plastic wrap, tied with a rubber band, and immersed in a preheated oven at 70°C for 2h. A 4% acetic acid blank solution and a 20% ethanol solution were made from the same batch. The contact surface of the food simulants in the disposable cups was calculated as S. A 4% acetic acid blank and a 20% ethanol solution were made from the same batch. Quantitatively measure 100 mL of the pre-treated sample solution, denoted as V1. The solutions were separately added to the AUTO ZF900 Total Migration and Nonvolatility Tester for testing. The automated process of constant weight in empty cup, evaporation in water bath, constant weight in residue and solvent recovery was carried out.   Analysis of results The assay data of disposable paper cups measured in 4% acetic acid and 20% ethanol food simulants are shown in Table 1....

Mono packaging films typically have inherent barrier properties that depend on the specific polymer used. For instance, certain mono films made from materials like polyethylene or polypropylene offer a degree of moisture resistance. However, they might have limited barrier capabilities against gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. If your packaging requirements demand superior barrier properties, you might consider multi-layer films or coatings that can enhance resistance to specific elements, providing better protection for the packaged contents.    Mono plastic packaging films can provide certain barrier properties, but their effectiveness depends on the specific type of plastic used. For example, materials like high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) offer good moisture and gas barrier properties. However, for applications requiring enhanced barrier performance, such as oxygen or light barrier, multi-layer films with additional coatings or laminations may be more suitable. It's essential to consider the specific requirements of the product being packaged and choose the packaging material accordingly.   OTR (Oxygen Transmission Rate) and WVTR (Water Vapor Transmission Rate) tester are crucial for assessing the barrier properties of packaging materials. For mono packaging products, these tests help ensure the integrity and quality of the packaging.  1.OTR Tester Application:   - Purpose: Determines the rate at which oxygen permeates through the packaging material.   - Importance: Essential for products sensitive to oxygen exposure, such as certain food items, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals.   - Application: Mono packaging products can use OTR testing to optimize material selection, ensuring extended shelf life and product stability.2. WVTR Tester Application:   - Purpose: Measures the rate at which water vapor passes through the packaging material.   - Importance: Critical for products susceptible to moisture, like electronics, pharmaceuticals, and certain foods.   - Application: Mono packaging products benefit from WVTR testing to prevent moisture-related issues, maintaining product quality and longevity.By employing both OTR and WVTR testing, manufacturers can tailor mono packaging materials to specific product requirements, minimizing spoilage, degradation, or damage caused by oxygen and moisture.
