1. Unmatched Product Safety and Purity

  • Prevents Contamination: The fully cured ink film is an inert, cross-linked polymer. This "non-migratory" nature is critical for ensuring that no ink components (e.g., photoinitiators, monomers, pigments) can leach out and contaminate sensitive products like food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and medical devices.

  • Compliance with Strict Regulations: Essential for meeting global regulatory standards for indirect food contact (e.g., FDA CFR 21, EU 10/2011, Swiss Ordinance, Nestlé Guidance) and pharmaceutical packaging, which strictly limit the migration of substances.

2. Superior Print Quality and Stability

  • Prevents Ink Bleed: Stops the ink from spreading laterally or penetrating excessively into porous or semi-porous substrates (e.g., paper, cardboard, certain plastics). This ensures that fine lines, text, and barcodes remain sharp and legible over time, preventing blurring or halo effects.

  • Maintains Color Consistency: Prevents the migration of plasticizers (from vinyl or certain plastics) into the ink layer, which can cause discoloration, tackiness, or softening of the print. This ensures the color and appearance remain stable and as intended.

3. Enhanced Material Compatibility

  • Safe for Sensitive Plastics: Allows for high-quality printing on "problematic" plastic substrates (e.g., PVC, polystyrene) that contain plasticizers or other additives, without the risk of the ink interacting with and degrading the material or vice versa.

  • Expands Application Range: This safety and stability make UV inks the premier choice for the most demanding applications, from medical device packaging to premium food and cosmetic labels.

4. Long-Term Reliability and Brand Protection

  • Preserves Product Integrity: By eliminating the risk of contamination, it protects the end-user's health and the efficacy of the packaged product (e.g., medicine, food).

  • Protects Brand Reputation: Mitigates the massive risk of product recalls, consumer safety issues, and brand damage associated with packaging contamination or print quality failure.
