uv ink is water-based or oily

The basic properties and composition of UV ink

UV ink is a special ink, and its production and composition are different from traditional ink. UV ink is a chemical that accelerates drying through UV curing technology. The basic components of UV ink include polymers, monomers, photosensitizers, auxiliaries, etc.

Polymers are the main components in UV inks, which can determine the characteristics of UV inks, including its wear resistance, adhesion and gloss. Monomer is the solvent of UV ink, used to adjust the viscosity and fluidity of UV ink. Photosensitizer is a key component to promote the drying and curing of UV ink, it will produce free radicals under ultraviolet irradiation, and then promote UV ink curing.

Is UV ink water-based or oil-based?

Under normal circumstances, UV ink does not belong to water-based or oil-based ink, it belongs to a special type of chemical. UV inks are dried and cured by ultraviolet curing technology, and unlike traditional water-based and oil-based inks, UV inks do not need to be dried by volatile organic solvents and do not release harmful substances in the air.

Compared to traditional water-based and oil-based inks, UV inks have faster drying speed and higher wear resistance, and are not easy to fade. UV inks can also use higher viscosity and darker colors, resulting in better printing results.

UV gloss ink is a special type of chemical that achieves rapid drying and curing through ultraviolet curing technology. UV inks do not belong to traditional water-based or oil-based inks, and their basic components include polymers, monomers, photosensitizers and auxiliaries. Compared with traditional inks, UV inks have faster drying speed and higher wear resistance, and are not easy to fade. In addition, UV inks can also use higher viscosity and deeper colors, resulting in better printing results.
