A New Choice for Environmentally Friendly Printing | KDD Water-Based Ink Vehicle, Easy to Use and Worry-Free
Release time:2026-04-16
KDD accurately seized the opportunity of water-based transformation, conducted in-depth research on market and technological trends, and carried out targeted development for different powder materials and customer needs. After multiple tests and optimizations by the engineering and technical team, a series of water-based ink vehicle products such as VA300, VA400 and VA323 have been launched, which have been stably applied in the market and recognized by many customers.
Friends engaged in glass printing and photovoltaic ink all know that choosing the right ink vehicle is crucial! With years of in-depth experience in the industry, KDD is one of the early resin suppliers to lay out photovoltaic double-glass sintering ink. It not only has the strength of independent R&D and synthesis of resins, but also the capability of independent production of ink vehicles. With flexible and professional technology, it can tailor-made solutions for ink factories and glass factories, which is reliable and worry-free.
The water-based ink vehicle specially designed for photovoltaic glass is full of highlights: slow-drying and easy to construct, no screen clogging or ink flying during large-panel printing; strong adhesion, stable adhesion before sintering; clean and residue-free after high-temperature sintering, with excellent comprehensive performance, suitable for photovoltaic, home appliance and architectural glass.
Many people may ask, what exactly is a water-based ink vehicle? Simply put, it is the "core fluid" in high-temperature tempered ink, responsible for uniformly dispersing pigments and adhering firmly to the glass surface. After sintering, it can also ensure clear and firm patterns.
The ink vehicle has developed all the way, from early vegetable oils and natural resins (prone to oxidation and discoloration) to the current dominance of synthetic resins, with rapid technological iteration. At present, acrylic resin is widely used. Although alkyd and polyester resins are used in small quantities, their sintering cleanliness is not as good as that of acrylic resin.
When traditional solid acrylic resin is used in weak solvent systems such as terpineol, it is difficult to dissolve at room temperature and must be dissolved by heating in a crucible, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Traditional liquid acrylic resin has a simple process, but it contains nearly 50% organic solvents, with a strong odor, poor wettability to inorganic powders such as glass powder, and its environmental protection indicators are difficult to meet export requirements.
KDD's new functional acrylic resin directly solves these pain points! Polymerized from weak solvents such as vegetable alcohol and alcohol ether, it has high compatibility with the ink vehicle solvent system, good wetting and wrapping properties for inorganic powders, large ink output, low odor, environmental protection, moisture resistance and stability, excellent cost performance, and effectively improves the quality of traditional ink vehicles.
This modified functional acrylic resin has outstanding comprehensive performance and is an important development direction of the water-based transformation of high-temperature tempered ink vehicles.
Ink vehicle, also known as cold printing oil, mixing oil and connecting paste, is mainly used in glass screen printing, glazing, hand-painted glazing and other glazing processes. These processes need to make the color glaze into glaze slurry or paste to stably adhere to the smooth glass surface for decoration. At the same time, it requires a certain degree of firmness in adhesion to the glass surface before sintering. The ink vehicle must have a certain stability to be suitable for industrial and chemical applications.
High-temperature tempered ink covers scenarios such as photovoltaic glass, automotive glass, home appliance glass, furniture glass, architectural glass and decorative glass. In the past, oil-based ink vehicles had a pungent odor and required solvents to clean the screen, which gradually became inconsistent with the environmental protection trend. Nowadays, water-based ink vehicles have become the mainstream, featuring low odor and environmental protection, and the screen can be directly cleaned with tap water, making the workshop cleaner and the use cost more optimized.
KDD accurately seized the opportunity of water-based transformation, conducted in-depth research on market and technological trends, and carried out targeted development for different powder materials and customer needs. After multiple tests and optimizations by the engineering and technical team, a series of water-based ink vehicle products such as VA300, VA400 and VA323 have been launched, which have been stably applied in the market and recognized by many customers.
If you want to carry out environmentally friendly glass printing and upgrade photovoltaic ink formulas, choosing KDD water-based ink vehicle will bring you stable performance, better environmental protection, easier use and excellent practical experience.
