INK SOLVENT MARKET OVERVIEW
Ink solvent market is expected to grow USD 920 Million at a CAGR 5.40% during the forecast period. Ink Solvent is used largely for commercial, industrial, and household printing. Some of the solvents which are in huge demand and are used for manufacturing the ink are methylated spirits, isopropanol, ethyl acetate, and n-propyl acetate. It being more efficient, along with having a high evaporation rate are rising the market size. It is available at a very cheap rate. It having non-coating properties are the most important factor prompting market growth. It has been used in some of the printer machines like Roland SOLJET Pro 4, FY3208H Solvent Flex Printer and XR-640 has an increasingly high production rate and the ink here can dry up faster. Due to all of these factors, these printers have been used up for packaging purposes, publication, corrugated, and many more.
Moreover, alcohol has been widely used for printing purposes. It is used for reducing the surface tension and imparting corrosion resistance technology to the machines. Moreover, these printing machines are available at high costs and have some toxic characteristics, and their less conductivity nature has restrained the market development.
