Properties
Shelflife & Storage
When the UV varnish is stored between 15 and 20°C in its closed original can, shelf life will be minimum 12 months from date of manufacture
Remarks
Curing speed is 200MPM with 2 lamps of 120 Watt/cm
The curing depends on the kind of UV curing unit (reflectors, age and power of the UV lamps, the printed ink layer thickness and the belt speed of the UV curing unit). In certain cases the flow and the gloss can be improved by passing prints under IR lamps prior to UV curing.
The adhesion of the varnish is best evaluated after 24 hours. In the time interval, a post curing effect takes place during which the varnish cools down and the UV chemical termination reaction happens, resulting in a better adhesion.
UV varnishes are formulated free of heavy metals and complies with EN 71/3 standard. These varnishes are REACH compliant and free from SVHC substances (Reach annex XIV) and substances mentioned on the candidate list (last update 16122014) Please consult the MSDS.
