UV CURABLE INK: Permanent printing for every situation

This is a revolutionary solution for demanding applications where marking durability is absolutely crucial. Our UV curable ink provides a print that is virtually indelible under normal operating conditions. Its unique formulation uses special resins that retain their liquid form until exposed to UV radiation. In that split second when exposed to a light source, the ink instantly “petrifies” and creates an extremely durable layer. Thanks to this advanced technology, the ink reliably adheres to almost any type of surface, from high-gloss metals to difficult-to-print plastics, with a resistance that withstands the effects of strong solvents and chemicals.

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.
