Pigment Dispersions for Waterbased Inkjet

Stable, food-contact- compliant pigment dispersions for water-based inkjet inks.
Optimized for high-resolution, safe printing in food packaging applications.

Reliable, Low-Migration Pigment Dispersions for Food-Safe Inkjet Applications

YMCRBW Pigment Dispersions are specially formulated, water-based pigment dispersions tailored for inkjet inks intended for food contact applications. Designed to deliver stable, vivid coloration with excellent ejection performance, these dispersions maintain consistent particle size and viscosity under demanding storage and printing conditions.

By incorporating water-insoluble polymer coatings, optimized dispersants, and controlled heat-treatment processes, YMCRBW ensures superior storage and ejection stability—key for high-resolution and high-frequency inkjet printing. These dispersions meet stringent safety requirements for indirect food contact, supporting reliable integration into food packaging workflows.

NAGASE provides YMCRBW Pigment Dispersions with full food-contact compliance documentation, technical support, and global delivery capabilities.
