The Role of Energy Curing in Graphic Arts
Energy curing has revolutionized graphic arts with its ability to deliver superior results across various applications. Key benefits include:
- Enhanced Durability: Improved scuff resistance, chemical resistance, and long-lasting finishes.
- Exceptional Quality: High gloss levels and superior optical clarity.
- Faster Turnaround: Rapid curing times streamline production processes.
- Eco-Friendly Performance: Minimal volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions align with sustainability goals.
Applications of Energy Curing
罩印清漆
增强的耐磨损性和耐化学性,以及罩印清漆更高的光泽和更快的固化速度 - 这些元素使紫外光/电子束优于其他技术,从而使这项技术在纸板包装市场占据了主导地位。
IGM 提供各种丙烯酸酯,光引发剂,添加剂和特殊树脂,例如无光饰面。
印刷油墨
与溶剂型油墨和水性油墨相比,紫外光/电子束固化油墨的优点包括干燥时间更快,固化度更好,挥发性有机化合物排放量很少或没有,能量要求更低和耐受性更好,因此其继续保持强劲增长。它们可以实现短期高质量的按需商业印刷以及包装行业折叠纸盒的在线转换。 能量可固化油墨用于平版印刷,柔版印刷,丝网印刷和喷墨印刷。
IGM 提供各种丙烯酸脂,光引发剂和特种树脂,以优化着色体系的应用性能、固化和性能特性。
喷墨打印 - 图片
紫外光可固化喷墨是一种增长快速的印刷技术。 与传统的打印和成像技术相比,它的优势包括硬件成本相对较低和全色高分辨率图像质量,适用于低成本短期数字和按需打印。 它还提供了直接打印到三维物体上的可能性。 配制的紫外光可固化喷墨油墨通常为 100% 固体或水性。各种配方通常含有低粘度的丙烯酸酯, 因为打印头喷嘴必须允许油墨通过非常小的孔。
敏感包装
用于敏感包装应用 (如食品和药品) 的油墨必须使用专为低迁移而设计的原材料配制, 同时仍可提供必要的稳定性,应用性能和性能特性。 IGM 提供专为低迁移应用而设计的丙烯酸酯,光引发剂和添加剂,并符合多种法规(例如瑞士法令)和终端用户指南(例如 雀巢Nestle)– 例如我们获得专利的 Omnipol® 聚合物光引发剂组合。
