Storage and Handling92NCF Series UV Flexo Shrink Sleeve 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. 92NCF Series UV Flexo Shrink Sleeve Ink is a one-part, 100% solids UV-curable Flexo printing ink and does not contain HDODA or Benzophenone. 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: 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. |
