Another Award for KSL Anti-Set-Off Powders

Apr 29, 2026

The BG ETEM (the German Social Accident Insurance Institution for the energy, textile, electrical, and media products sectors) has once again confirmed the high quality of KSL’s anti-set-off powders: All 22 powders submitted by us were successfully classified as “low emission products.” With this 100 percent success rate, we are setting a clear standard for occupational health and safety in the printing industry.

The BG ETEM certification is considered the most important benchmark for low-dust and health-conscious additives in sheet-fed offset printing. The fact that our powders meet the strict criteria of the BG underlines our role as an innovation leader in sustainable pressroom solutions.

Safety for People, Machines, and Printed Products
Anti-set-off powders are essential for the quality of the printed product, but can pose risks if the composition is of inferior quality. Our certified powders minimize these risks significantly. For printing companies, this means:

  • Top quality for smooth processes and high-quality printed products.
  • Reduced powder consumption due to more uniform sheet separation.
  • Tailor-made solutions for every grammage and application.
  • Maximum health protection for the machine operators.
  • Reduced cleaning effort due to minimal fine dust content.

“The renewed confirmation by BG ETEM for all 22 powders shows that we make no compromises when it comes to quality,” says Managing Director Dr. Rupert Stadler. “We offer our customers the certainty that, with our products, they not only achieve excellent printing results but also create the cleanest working environment technically possible.”
