About SunTrio Daimetal Ink

Benefits & Suitability

• Excellent Retorting Resistance
With the proper coating system, the SunTrio Daimetal range shows excellent retorting resistance, making it the ideal choice to print three-piece food cans, as well as all types of closures and ends. 

• Good Adhesion and Reactivity
Thanks to this, cracking resistance of this range is outstanding.  SunTrio Daimetal is also suitable for the printing of general line cans, including those with an expansion process in the manufacturing.

• Concentrated Pigment
All base inks are formulated with a high concentration of pigment, and all are single pigmented to ensure repeatability. Thus, the chosen palette for this range will allow the printer to achieve all the colors needed in the metal packaging market.

SunTrio Daimetal Series offers excellent press performance and has been developed following the formulation criteria in the latest version of Nestle Guidance for Packaging Inks. The raw materials included in their composition have been chosen from the Annexes 1 and 6 of the Swiss Packaging Inks Ordiance SR 817.023.21.
