The invention discloses a water-based flexographic
printing ink for cigarette tipping paper printing and a preparation method thereof. The water-based flexographic
printing ink is composed of a modified acrylic
emulsion,
pigment and filler, a
wetting dispersant, a
transfer printing agent, a defoaming agent, deionized water, and a cosolvent. The modified acrylic
emulsion is a novel acrylic
emulsion formed by copolymerization of an imported high quality emulsifier,
acrylate and special functional monomers, and has the advantages of fantastic
calcium ion stability,
dilution stability,
mechanical stability and freeze-thaw stability, and small
pollution to the environment. The water-based flexographic
printing ink for tipping paper printing provided by the invention is non-toxic and tasteless, has quick
drying speed and good
dispersion stability, the printing product is free of deformation and edge
curling, and has bright color and excellent antibacterial properties. The printing product has few
residual monomer and low
odor, is green and environment-friendly, the printing ink can be used cooperatively with a flexographic press, the printing speed can reach 250-300m / min, and the
machine speed is doubled than the traditional intagliotipping paper
printing press, thus greatly improving the production efficiency, and saving the production cost.
