Where UV Inks Are Used

Shrink sleeves

Cosmetics packaging

Premium labels

Non-absorbent substrates

Low migration food packaging

Why UV Inks Are Growing

100% solids → no solvent evaporation
Instantly cured by UV → extremely fast production
Higher gloss
Better mechanical strength

Industry Problems

  • High viscosity due to high-solids systems
  • Agglomerate sensitivity → curing defects
  • Poor pigment wetting in acrylate monomers
  • Inconsistent jetness in thick films

Carbon Black Requirements

Ultra-clean PSD → No gel formation during curing
Surface oxidation → Compatibility with UV oligomers
Small particles → High OD & gloss
Uniform aggregates → Defect-free films
