Series SOY-SF Document TDS-SOY-SF-01 Revision 01 Issue Date 29 Jul 2026 |
FORDIA Soybean Oil Sheet-fed Offset Ink is a conventional process ink series formulated with soybean oil and selected vegetable-oil-based binders for commercial and non-food packaging printing. It is designed for clean transfer, fast setting, stable ink-water balance, sharp dot reproduction and reliable performance on modern high-speed sheet-fed presses.
- Soybean-oil-based vehicle system with a target formulation suitable for a renewable-resource product positioning.
- High colour strength and clean, transparent process shades for low ink-film application.
- Quick setting with balanced oxidative drying for efficient work-and-turn and post-print handling.
- Stable ink-water balance, good fountain-solution tolerance and reduced emulsification tendency.
- Smooth transfer, sharp dots, low misting and controlled tack for coated and uncoated paper grades.
- Good gloss and rub resistance after full drying.

* Blue Wool Scale: 1 = low, 8 = excellent. “+" = resistant under the stated internal test; “-" = not resistant. Confirm actual pigment-grade performance before publication.
- Use the minimum fountain solution required to maintain a clean non-image area; excessive water can slow setting and reduce gloss.
- Maintain stable pressroom temperature and humidity. Condition paper and ink before printing.
- Mix ink thoroughly before use. Avoid uncontrolled addition of reducer, drier, anti-skin agent or varnish.
- For critical paper, perfecting work or high-speed printing, confirm tack and set speed by a production trial.
- Before aqueous coating, lamination, foil stamping, laser printing or other finishing, verify complete drying and compatibility.
- Use clean, compatible conventional offset rollers and blankets. This product is not designed for UV/LED systems.
Process shades may be formulated to target ISO 2846-1 colour characteristics, and production may be controlled according to ISO 12647-2. Compliance must be demonstrated using the actual ink, substrate, ink-film thickness, press conditions and measurement data. This TDS does not by itself constitute ISO certification.
- Store tightly closed in the original container at 5-30°C, away from heat, direct sunlight and ignition sources.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to air. Reseal partly used containers immediately and keep the ink surface clean.
- Prevent contamination with water, UV ink, cleaning solvent or incompatible auxiliaries.
- Consult the current Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before handling. Use appropriate gloves, eye protection and local workplace controls.
