The growing VOC emissions from solvent-based inks are believed to fuel the growth of the screen printing inks market. In solvent-based inks, which also contain resin (a binder) and pigment, the volatile organic compound (VOC) content is often 100% which includes alcohols and esters at press viscosities in concentrations ranging from 50% to 70%. However, as compared to solvent-based inks, screen printing inks have less volatile organic compounds and have no hazardous air pollutants.
