Features & Benefits

Product features and benefits
  • Radglo GF(S) soluble toners are transparent and should be printed on white background or over a white ink to achieve the maximum fluorescent brightness.
  • Radglo GFS-10 and GFS-18 are recommended if extra color strength is desired or if there is a need to reduce the amount of toner in the system.
  • Radglo GFS-10 & GFS-18 can be blended to achieve intermediate fluorescent colors.
  • Radglo GF-09 (UV Blue) is colorless in normal daylight, but glows
  • under UV exposure, making it especially suitable as a tracer.
  • Compatible with most resins used in solvent based flexo and gravure ink formulations, like nitrocellulose(esters), acrylics and polyamides.
  • No particles in finished ink due to completely solubility.
