- Processing Instructions
The inks are ready for printing as delivered.
The following values show best results and are recommended. They may vary depending on printing plate type and desired solid tone densities.
- Printing speed: 150 - 400 m/min.
- Volume: min. 3.5 cm³/m²
- Anilox roller: max. 400 L/cm
- Printing viscosity: 20 - 22 s / DIN 4 mm
Further processing: After complete drying, the print can be further processed immediately.
- Excluded Applications
Applications with special requirements must be tested separately. Observe regulatory requirements of the respective target market.
Technical Details & Test Data
- Technical Details
Substrates
- PE, PP, oPP, PET, PA (polyamide), NC-coated aluminum, polyolefine, coated and uncoated paper and board
Due to the variety of materials prior tests of printability and properties are recommended as well as in-line corona pre-treatment. A surface tension of approx. 40 mN/m is suggested.
Solvents
Use the offered solvents from the manufacturer. Other solvents can result in printing or adhesion problems.
- Thinner: 368067
- Retarder: 351372
- Accelerator: 308810
Start with an addition quantity of 2 - 3 % and observe the viscosity as well as the drying time on the machine. Overdosing the solvents can result a too low viscosity and/or negatively influence the drying properties. Residues of the retarder in the ink film can have a strong influence on the final strength and fastness of the prints. Overdosage of the retarder can also cause set-off and blocking. Too much accelerator can impair ink transfer and causes the ink drying even on plates, anilox rolls or cylinders.
