The basic introduction of UV ink

UV(ultraviolet curable) ink refers to the use of ultraviolet light of different wavelengths and energy to polymerize the monomer in the ink connection material into a polymer, so that the ink film and dry ink. UV varnish also belongs to ink, as ink, they must have gorgeous color (except for special cases), good printability, 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 a high quality, high precision ink that is widely used in printing and coating fields. It has many advantages, such as high-speed drying, high color, scratch resistance, fade resistance, high transparency and so on. In this article, we will introduce UV ink in detail, including its basic introduction, properties and characteristics, applications and market prospects.

First, the basic introduction of UV ink

UV ink is a kind of ink that is dried by ultraviolet radiation, also known as ultraviolet curing ink. It is a pigment and coating based on substances such as acrylic acid, so it has high quality and reliability. The drying speed of UV ink is very fast, and it can be dried in only a few seconds under the light, so the production efficiency can be greatly improved.

Second, the nature and characteristics of UV ink

1. High color and transparency

UV ink can maintain the brightness and transparency of the pigment color during the drying process, making the printed matter colorful and three-dimensional.

2. Scratch and wear resistant

Because UV ink has a high degree of curing, the surface hardness of the printed matter is high, and the scratch resistance and wear resistance are also good. Labels or packaging printed with UV ink can provide better protection and durability.

3. Anti-fading and weather resistance

Because UV ink has high stability, it can keep the color of the print colorless for a long time, but also maintain good weather resistance in the outdoor environment.

4. Wide applicability

UV ink is not only suitable for various printing presses and coating machines, but also can be printed on a variety of material surfaces, such as plastic, glass, wood, metal and so on.

Third, the application and market prospects of UV ink

UV ink is widely used in label printing, commercial printing, printmaking, screen printing, digital printing and other fields. Due to its high quality, high efficiency, reliability and wide applicability, UV ink has been widely recognized and applied in recent years.
