Flexo Inks

Europet (ET) Serie

PU/NC and PU solvent based ink seriesis especially designed for the works needed high lamination performance.

This serie includes the codes used for retord applications.

TECHNICAL PROPERTIES

  • According to the substrate heat resistance is between 200C-220C (4bar ,1 sn)
  • Good ink transfer
  • Does not contain TAA or Phtalate
  • Lamination inks are suitable for solvent or solventless lamination applications
  • High lamination resistance

 PU/NC  and PU  solvent based ink  seriesis  especially designed for  the  works  needed high lamination  performance.


This serie includes the codes used for retord applications. 


Substrates: OPP(**), chemical  PET(*),physical  PET


(*)Corona treated PET requires  a minimum of 52 mN/m surface energy.,chemical type of PET requires  a minimum of 56 mN/m surface energy 


(**) These materials require a minimum of 38 mN/m surface energy.


Note: In retord applications, inks are subjected to steam cooking in autoclave between 124,5 C - 135 C. It is especially designed for BOPET material.

 

PRINTING REQUIREMENTS

Solvent Mixture for balancing vizcosity

  • Flexo : Ethyl Alcohol/Ethyl Acetate   9:1

Drying Time Adjustments

  • Accelerator : Ethyl Acetate
    Retarder     : Ethoxy Propanol or Methoxy Propanol

Solvent Mixture for balancing vizcosity

  • Rotogravure  :

         For low speed machines : Ethyl Alcohol/Ethyl Acetate   1:1

         For high speed machines : Ethyl Acetate


PRINTING CONSIDERATIONS

  • The surface tension of the material to be used must be tested before printing. If necessary, the corona of the film should be improved.
  • After printing, the bobbins should be kept at room temperature for 24 hours for curing to occur.
  •  If the machine speed and drying conditions are well adjusted, solvent residue in the printing is minimized.

SHELF LIFE

  • The shelf life of ET series is 1 year in unopened packaging
  • Shelf life of golds, imitation golds, silvers are 6 months in unopened packaging
  • Shelf life of inks containing fanal pigments are 1 month.
