Ink technology

What does polymer base mean?
UV printing technology is based on the process of controlled photopolymerization. This modern principle uses the fact that the ink contains special monomers and oligomers that are immediately activated when in contact with a precisely defined wavelength of UV light. Instead of the gradual evaporation of solvents, a lightning-fast chemical chain reaction occurs, which transforms the liquid ink layer into a solid, highly resistant polymer structure.
This process offers the fundamental advantage of instant fixation - the printed product is fully cured, dry and ready for immediate further handling or shipping immediately after passing through the UV dryer. Since the technology does not require the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOC), the print is not only highly mechanically stable and resistant to abrasion, but also represents a more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional solvent inks. The result is precise, sharp printing with a high pigment density that maintains its integrity even in the most aggressive industrial environments.

Applications and uses

Put UV CURABLE INK into practice: which materials is the ink suitable for
Choosing the right ink is the basis for the durability of your marking. We have prepared a clear application matrix for you to help you verify whether UV CURABLE INK is the ideal candidate for your specific surface. The rating given takes into account not only the adhesion of the ink, but also its durability in demanding operating conditions. If you are not sure about the compatibility with your specific material, do not hesitate to contact us for a professional consultation or a free print test.
