MIGRATON TESTING68NC Series UV Flexo Ink is formulated to comply with the Nestle Guidance Note on Packaging Inks (21st February 2014). Although 68NC Series UV Flexo Inks are formulated with low migration materials, the end user should determine suitability of the end application by appropriate migration testing. All possible sources of migration and contamination should be evaluated for compliance. APPLICATION AND USESubstratesPressure sensitive vinyl, top coated and print treated polyester, BOPP films, polyethylene, polystyrene, coated paper & board, PETG, PVC shrink, direct thermal paper. Plates68NC Series UV LED Flexo Ink is compatible with most UV Flexo plates currently on the market. Printing68NC Series UV LED Flexo Ink can be affected by stray UV light in and around a printing facility. Be aware of skylights, windows and overhead lights curing the ink. Light filters are recommended. Keep ink containers covered when not in use. LED Cure Parameters68NC Series UV LED Flexo Ink cures at web speeds in excess of 700 fpm (210m/min) when exposed to a 16W/cm2 UV LED curing lamp, with an output wavelength of 395nm. Clean UpUse NWC10 EZ Cleaner. Storage and Handling68NC Series UV LED Flexo Ink is formulated to be press ready. Thoroughly mix the ink prior to printing. |
Maintain ink temperature at 65°-90°F (18°-32°C) for optimum print and cure performance. To prevent premature cure or gelling, keep away from heat, flame and direct light sources. Proper personal protection equipment is required when handling this material. Please consult the Safety Data Sheet for details on proper handling of this material. Ink taken from the press should not be returned to the original container; store separately to avoid contaminating unused ink. Performance VerificationAfter press/job set up is complete, inspect a portion of the printed web for all applicable and specified properties. These properties include but are not limited to migration, cure, adhesion, mar and rub resistance, product resistance, gloss, and coefficient of friction. These tests should be performed prior to beginning the full production run. PRODUCT OFFERINGProcess ColorsStandard process colors are formulated to print using an anillox volume of 0.8 -2.0 BCM. Base ColorsStandard base colors are designed to be high strength, and formulated to print using anillox volume of 2.0 - 4.5 BCM. The colors can be mixed together to achieve an unlimited number of strong vibrant colors. Packaging Per Container
