BoFood® MH CMS Mixing System
migration harmless
This series meets product wise all three requirements on food packaging. These are:
- Scent reduced,
- swelling reduced and
- migration reduced/harmless
BoFood® MH CMS inks are migration harmless. This means that in contrast to traditional low migration systems they show absorption and therefore a physical drying. Typographical they are therefore clearly superior to the classical low migration systems. And yet they fulfil all legal requirements in terms of food safety as the absorbing and therefore potential migrating components are foodstuffs or food additives themselves. This enables the usage of BoFood® MH CMS ink also for the production of primary food packaging. The requirement of scent reduction calls for binding agents which do not comply with the common demands for rub resistance. Therefore dispersion varnishing is strictly necessary for all printing jobs with BoFood® MH CMS. The principal application is mainly the printing of primary packaging for flavour sensitive filling.
Properties
Scent reduced | yes |
Swelling reduced | yes |
Migration harmless | yes |
Due to these properties all requirements towards total migration (< 60 ppm) as well as the specific migration (< 10 ppb) for non-evaluated substances can be fulfilled product wise. A barrier coating in order to comply with the legal demands of the regulation 1935/2004 EG is not necessary product wise.
Mineral oil free | yes |
Absorption | yes |
Primary food packaging | appropriate |
Dispersion varnishing | necessary |
Conformity with 1935/2004 EG
The confirmation of an independent institute in regard to conformity of printing with BoFood® MH inks is available.
