Methanol-free inks improve safety and the environment

27-Jan-2009

Marking and coding supplier Markem-Imaje is committed to supplying its customers with methanol-free inks to improve employee safety and environmental protection.

It has replaced the methanol currently used as denaturant in its alcohol-based inks with isopropanol. This involved finding the right balance between all the technical, economic and environmental performances and constraints.

Isopropanol improves operator safety. Inhalation and ingestion of methanol, and skin contact with methanol, are known to be toxic.
