Siegwerk taps Celanese for biobased printing ink

June 15, 2026 |

In Texas, chemical giant Celanese and printing inks and coatings maker Siegwerk have partnered to supply more sustainable solutions in the printing ink value chain by using biobased ethyl acetate manufactured by Celanese.

The ethyl acetate produced by Celanese contains 50% biobased content, helping to reduce the use of fossil-derived raw materials compared to conventional alternatives. Siegwerk uses the biobased solvent as a drop-in solution in its existing ink formulations, enabling the production of more sustainable products without compromising performance or requiring changes to established manufacturing processes.

“Collaboration is key to driving meaningful progress toward sustainability,” said Kevin Norfleet, Senior Director, Sustainability, at Celanese. “By working closely with Siegwerk, Celanese contributes to solutions that reduce the use of fossil resources while maintaining the high performance standards required in demanding applications such as printing inks.”
