UV ink refers to the ink that uses UV light of different wavelengths and energies to polymerize the monomers in the ink binder 

into polymers under UV irradiation, so that the ink can form a film and dry. UV ink also belongs to ink. As an ink, it has good 

print-ability and suitable curing and drying rate. At the same time, it has good adhesion, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, 

weather resistance and other characteristics.

UV ink is mainly divided into: UV hand paint ink, metal UV screen printing ink, LED curing UV ink. Its application fields mainly include UV 

Iron printing ink, UV metal ink, UV glass ink,  plastic UV ink, circuit board UV ink, photosensitive UV ink.

UV ink is a kind of environmental friendly ink that has developed rapidly in recent years. With the enhancement of people's awareness of 

environmental protection, UV ink with its fast drying speed, wide range of applicable materials, solvent-free emission, high efficiency and

 energy saving have achieved an indispensable position in the printing industry. UV Ink consumption is large, which is applied to almost all

 printing processes, promoting the development of UV ink.

Why UV ink is "environmental friendly ink"? When printing, the ink adheres to the surface of the substrate and is caused by ultraviolet light

 the energy of the agent is excited, and it instantly polymerizes with oligomers and monomers to solidify the conjunctiva. UV curing ink does 

not contain volatile organic compounds(voc3) therefore, it will not cause pollution to the atmosphere and harm to human body. Only under 

UV light can it be dried, even in ink fountain for a long time the performance can also remain stable.

Like ordinary inks, the ink color is mainly determined by pigments, and the heavy metals in inks are mainly determined by the types of pigments, so UV inks adopt pigments and additives that do not contain heavy metals and their polybrominated biphenyls meet the relevant limit requirements of Rosh standards.

 

Energy saving and high efficiency, improving the working environment. UV ink drying speed is fast, which can be printed and dried immediately, which shorten the production cycle, improve production efficiency.It is efficient, and the powder spraying device of offset press can be canceled , which is greatly improves the working environment.

 

Meet the color printing of packaging products. Because UV ink dries quickly, it will not penetrate into the substrate and will not affect the internal quality of the substrate, it is especially suitable for color printing of packaging products.

 

UV ink not only be used for all kinds of paper printing, but also can be used on non absorbent substrates such as aluminum foil and plastic. UV glazing products can replace traditional filming , printing products also can be recycled. For periodicals and magazines, teaching aids for students' textbooks, and paper products, the surface can be finished with light instead of film.
