MB2253 is compliant with indirect food contact legislation, bringing peace of mind to end users and supporting security for producers

Markem-Imaje, part of Dover and a global provider of end-to-end supply chain solutions and industrial marking and coding systems, on 4 June announced the launch of MB2253, a new black MEK ink specifically formulated for the beverage market. This innovative product meets stringent industry regulations, helping ensure safety and compliance for both producers and consumers.

Designed for versatility, MB2253 excels in marking a wide variety of beverage substrates, including plastics, metals, glass and returnable glass bottles, the company said in a release. It provides durable codes with excellent adhesion. Moreover, it withstands extreme icy condensation and water immersion, making it ideal for various beverage packaging environments.

One of the standout features of MB2253 is its remarkable alkali solubility. It matches the lifecycle of returnable glass bottles and withstands sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solutions at concentrations up to 2.5%, ensuring that the ink remains intact, the company said.

Safety is a top priority at Markem-Imaje. MB2253 is compliant with indirect food contact legislation, bringing peace of mind to end users and supporting security for producers. Formulated and manufactured in a Grade A BRC Global Standard-certified plant, the ink is produced in accordance with the “EuPIA Guideline on Printing Inks applied to the non-food contact surface of food packaging materials and articles.”

All materials used in MB2253 comply with:

Swiss Ordinance 817.023.21 on materials and articles intended to come into contact with foodstuffs (version 2.1 of December 2020).

FDA Title 21 CFR of the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations, which addresses “indirect” food additives.

MB2253 is available for use with a range of continuous inkjet printers, including the 9750, 9750+, 9750 Xp, 9750 Xp+, and 9712. Please check availability in your country.

Markem-Imaje, a wholly owned subsidiary of the US-based Dover Corporation, is a manufacturer of product identification and traceability solutions, offering a full line of reliable and innovative inkjet, thermal transfer, laser, and print and apply label systems.
