HD SERIES - UV CURABLE FLEXO INKS
DESCRIPTION
UV curing ink suitable for printing on paper, unsupported polypropylene, and other synthetic label materials.
PROPERTIES
High colour strength. Fast cure. Good printability. Excellent adhesion properties. Available in Process and Pantone colours
The HD1 ink series can be used for Food Packaging Specifications where the printed layer is a barrier to migration and there is no possibility of set off to the unprinted (food contact) surface. For applications where the material is not a barrier, or set off is possible, we recommend the use of Low Migration inks. Contact us for further details.
It must also be mentioned that the Printer/Converter and Packer/ Filler has legal responsibility to ensure compliance with the relevant legislation for food packaging.
APPLICATION
Mix well before use. Anilox Selection. Solids- 120-180 lines/cm volume 5-10 cm3/m2. Process- 300-500 lines/cm volume 2-4 cm3/m2. Pantone- 160-180 lines/cm volume 5-6 cm3/m2. Minimum lamp power - 160 W/cm. Clean equipment immediately after use (RLA350 UV Wash is recommended).Fully cured HD inks will obtain resistance properties 24 hours after printing.
SUBSTRATES
Suitable for a wide range of coated papers and films, and label stocks such as coated PE, PP, PVC, PET, and OPP. The suitability for uncoated synthetic substrates such as PP should be tested before printing. The surface tension should be 38 dyne/cm or above, and corona treatment can improve the wetting.
STORAGE & HANDLING
Store at temperatures between 100C and 200C.
Shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacture (as seen on the label).

The SG ink series can be used for Food Packaging Specifications where the printed layer is a barrier to migration and there is no possibility of set off to the unprinted (food contact) surface. For applications where the material is not a barrier, or set off is possible, we recommend the use of Low Migration inks. Contact us for further details.
It must also be mentioned that the Printer/Converter and Packer/ Filler has legal responsibility to ensure compliance with the relevant legislation for food packaging.
APPLICATION
Mix well before use. Anilox Selection. Solids- 120-180 lines/cm. volume 5-10 cm3/m2. Process- 300-500 lines/cm.volume 2-4 cm3/m2. Pantone- 160-180 lines/cm volume 5-6 cm3/m2. Minimum lamp power - 160 W/cm
Clean equipment immediately after use (RLA350 UV Wash is recommended).

BB SERIES - UV FLEXO LOW ODOUR INK
DESCRIPTION
Low odour UV curing ink suitable for printing on paper, unsupported polypropylene, and other synthetic label materials. The BB series is Nestle list compliant (06/08/2009).
Pulse Roll Label BB series inks have been formulated to comply with Food Packaging Legislation. Please see:-
Swiss List Eupia Information Note regarding the Swiss list.
EuPIA EuPIA information note on inks for food packaging. The raw materials are selected in accordance with the "Selection scheme for packaging ink raw materials" of the EuPIA Guideline. EuPIA 2
To achieve compliance it will be necessary to carry out a suitable evaluation. Please contact Pulse Roll Label for advice on this evaluation process. It must also be remembered that the manufacturer of the packaging and the filler are responsible for the properties of the food packaging and its compliance with legal requirements. The packaging ink suppliers are not able to issue certificates or declarations of compliance which cover the legal responsibility of others in packaging chain.
PROPERTIES
High colour strength. Fast cure. Good printability. Excellent adhesion properties. Available in Process and Pantone colours
APPLICATION
Mix well before use. Anilox Selection Solids- 120-180 lines/cm volume 5-10 cm3/m2. Process- 300-500 lines/cm volume 2-4 cm3/m2. Pantone- 160-180 lines/cm volume 5-6 cm3/m2 Minimum lamp power - 160 W/cm. Clean equipment immediately after use (RLA350 UV Wash is recommended). To achieve repeatable results for levels of migration it is necessary to print under controlled, repeatable conditions. Keep records of all print variables, batch numbers etc as outlined in the document-Good Manufacturing Practices for the Manufacture of Packaging Inks. GMP Fully cured BB inks will obtain resistance properties 24 hours after printing.
SUBSTRATES
Suitable for a wide range of coated papers and films, and label stocks such as coated PE, PP, PVC, PET, and OPP.
The suitability for uncoated synthetic substrates such as PP should be tested before printing. The surface tension should be 38 dyne/cm or above, and corona treatment can improve the wetting.
STORAGE & HANDLING
Store at temperatures between 100C and 200C.
Shelf life is 12 months from date of manufacture (as seen on the label).
AUXILLARIES
Cleaners: RLA350 UV Wash, RLA351 Ethyl Acetate, RLA355 Acetone
