Ideal packaging is a vital element of logistics. Wide range of factors such as increasing health awareness and demand for consumer goods has made packaging a critical component of everyday life. We assist packaging material manufacturers by providing optimum quality chemistry.

Printing dates back to 2nd century. Printing ink is a fundamental necessity of packaging, advertising and publishing. We strive to provide a sustainable and ecologically safe solution for your printing ink needs. The raw materials of printing inks mainly comprise pigments, resins, solvents and additives. 

Pigments are used to colour the ink and make it opaque. 

Resins bind the ink together into a film and bind it to the printing surface. 

Solvents make the ink flow so that it can be transferred to the printing surface.

Additives alter the physical properties of the ink to suit different situations.
