Markem-Imaje is proud to announce the launch of MB2253, a new black MEK ink specifically formulated for the beverage market. This innovative product meets the most stringent industry regulations, ensuring safety and compliance for both producers and consumers.
Designed for versatility, MB2253 excels in marking a wide variety of beverage substrates, including plastics, metals, glass, and returnable glass bottles. It provides durable codes with excellent adhesion. Moreover, it withstands extreme icy condensation and water immersion, making it ideal for various beverage packaging environments.
The standout features of MB2253 are its remarkable alkali solubility and its water resistance. These characteristics ensure that the ink matches the restrictive life cycle of returnable glass bottles.
Safety is a top priority at Markem-Imaje. That’s why MB2253 is compliant with indirect food contact legislation, bringing peace of mind to end users and guaranteeing security for producers. Formulated and manufactured in a Grade A BRC Global Standard-certified plant, the ink is produced in accordance with the “EuPIA Guideline on Printing Inks applied to the non-food contact surface of food packaging materials and articles.”
In addition, all materials used in MB2253 comply with:
- Swiss Ordinance 817.023.21 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (version 2.1 of December 2020).
- FDA Title 21 CFR of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, which addresses “indirect” food additives.
MB2253 is available for use with a range of continuous inkjet printers, including the 9750, 9750+, 9750 Xp, 9750 Xp+, and 9712.
