Autoclave Ink Series

New line of Autoclave inks has excellent viscosity and printability

February 9, 2010

UVitec Printing Ink introduces a new UV curable ink system designed for the autoclave sterilization process. UVitec?s proprietary formulations result in an Autoclave-proof ink that holds up to high-pressure, temperature and steam and still maintain excellent color strength and densities. This new series of ink has improved printability features over UVitec?s prior formulations. Newly available raw material enables new autoclave inks to have ideal viscosities and ink transfer properties comparable to standard UV inks. These Autoclave inks are available in UV Flexo, UV Letterpress, and UV Litho ink series, as well as in all PMS colors and special matches.

 

UVitec?s exclusive process, based on the company?s three decades of UV experience, protects the pigment from shifting under the extremes the Autoclave process puts it under. The ink series emerges from the Autoclave process with the fidelity and repeatability that printers demand.

The Autoclave ink series from UVitec offers excellent printing characteristics. All Autoclave ink series are designed to perform optimally on whatever printing process the printer is using. In addition to standard formulations, UVitec can customize the inks to stand up to a variety of different resistance criteria and other perimeters. For more information, visit http://www.uvitec.com
