Supplier of coatings and pressroom consumables, Ultrachem has completed a successful trial period with Actega and will now officially partner the manufacturer of water-based flexo inks. 

This important development will see the company stocking and distributing water based inks to the UK Flexographic market.

This new business relationship will intensify the existing cooperation between the two companies and strengthen the company’s market leading position as a supplier of quality printing inks.

Based upon the considerable success of these trials we are now in a position to make a significant stock investment in Actega’s market leading portfolio of inks. Together with Actega we want to give our customers the quality products they would expect from us, all backed up by an unrivalled level of service and technical support.’

The company will be stocking water based inks for flexographic printing suitable for corrugated board, industrial paper packaging, flexible plastic packaging and foil based materials. Recognised brand names include ISEGA approved products COLORFLEX, COLORWELL, COLORBAG and COLORSAN.
