Water as the basis of all life.

For centuries, water was revered as something special and holy. To this day lakes and rivers still hold a magical attraction for human beings.

Without water there is no life.

This is why the company ACTEGA Colorchemie has committed itself from the start to develop all its printing ink systems on the basis of water. Because of its chemical neutrality, water is the ideal solvent.

Our team has actually made possible the seemingly impossible: our water-based inks can also be used on non-absorbing printing materials in flexo printing. One of our concentrated ink systems is even suitable for printing on paper and film, if the correct amount of extender is added.

Using water as solvent preserves resources and brings considerable ecological and economic benefits in terms of production, transport, storage and processing.

So we are actually proud to say that “We are cooking with water!"
