Ultrachem, manufacturer of printing Inks, coatings and press room consumables, has introduced a new range of UV Flexo inks specifically formulated to meet the challenges of modern day flexo printing.
The new UV flexo ink series is called the Ultraflex UV Intense. Jan Brinton, director for Ultrachem said, ‘We are delighted to announce the launch Ultraflex UV Intense, a new formulation ink system based upon a hi-density four colour process set and base colour range. These inks are formulated on a mono pigment basis, for maximum colour consistency with the highest possible colour strength. This allows for lower anilox cell volumes to be set and the ink’s unique resin chemistry gives exceptional viscosity, gloss, and adhesion.’
The ink series is ideal for today’s modern presses, running a wide variety of substrates, and is recommended for self-adhesive labels, cartons, pouches and wraparounds. It is also available in a lightfast version where required.
The new range also includes Ultraflex UV LMC (Low migration compliant) for indirect food packaging and Ultraflex UV SL (Shrink sleeve) specifically for printing on the reverse side of shrink sleeve applications.
Ms Brinton added, ‘We have also taken this opportunity to clarify our offering and the UltraFlex UV Intense ink series is fully supported by a range of UltraFlex UV Coatings and UltraFlex UV Adhesives all manufactured in the UK by Ultrachem.’
