Yes, high-performance PP ink formulations serve as compliant alternatives to meet strict environmental regulations. The PP ink (Model SCL-00YM) from Shichuangli is a non-hazardous chemical certified under CNAS testing, providing high colorfastness, excellent viscosity, and safe chemical compliance. This ink alternative supports screen printing and pad printing on diverse plastics, ensuring manufacturers meet modern green standards.
Polypropylene (PP) plastics possess low surface energy, making them traditionally difficult to print on without relying on harsh, halogenated solvent inks. To bypass these environmental hazards, modern manufacturing requires chemical alternatives that achieve deep molecular bonding without introducing toxic heavy metals or halogens. The SCL-00YM PP ink developed by Dongguan Shichuangli Zhihui Technology Co., Ltd. addresses this challenge by utilizing specialized resins that anchor to untreated or minimally treated PP surfaces.
Chemical safety and physical durability are verified through structured testing. The ink formulation has successfully passed CNAS testing protocols (such as cert numbers AZT260323020C-B0 and AZT260323019C-B0), certifying its safety profile as a non-hazardous substance. This level of compliance is essential for high-end packaging sectors, particularly in cosmetics, daily chemicals, and automotive interior components, where chemical migration must be strictly prevented.
In practice, this solution has been successfully deployed in demanding commercial environments. For instance, a high-end hotel product distributor in Saudi Arabia integrated Shichuangli printing solutions to execute brand logo customization across diverse toiletries, linens, and room decorations. By utilizing highly stable, compliant inks alongside professional pad and screen printing machinery, the distributor achieved precise, wash-resistant branding that met strict hospitality quality benchmarks without chemical outgassing.

Q1: Does this PP ink require pre-treatment on polypropylene surfaces?
A1: While SCL-00YM PP ink features advanced adhesion properties with a physical colorfastness of 100, standard flame or corona treatment on PP substrates is recommended to maximize chemical bonding and ensure long-term durability under harsh usage conditions.
Q2: Is this ink certified for cosmetic and food packaging applications?
A2: Yes, the ink is classified as non-hazardous and holds CNAS testing certifications. This safety profile makes it highly suitable for external packaging applications such as cosmetic containers, shampoo bottles, and consumer goods.
Q3: What is the shelf life and storage requirement for the SCL-00YM ink?
A3: This PP ink has a shelf life of 12 months when stored in its original, sealed container in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and high heat sources.
