Product Overview
UV screen printing ink is a specialized ink that utilizes ultraviolet (UV) curing technology, achieving instant curing under UV light exposure. It is designed for high-precision screen printing on various substrates. Compared to traditional solvent-based or water-based screen inks, UV ink offers significant advantages such as instant drying, superior adhesion, and environmental friendliness, making it widely applicable in packaging, electronics, and decorative industries.
UV-curable screen printing ink Key Features
Instant Curing for High Efficiency
Cures within 1-3 seconds under UV light (365nm/395nm), eliminating the need for air drying or baking, significantly improving production efficiency.
Broad Substrate Compatibility
Adheres firmly to plastics (e.g., PVC, PP, PE, ABS), metals, glass, ceramics, acrylics, and paper.
High Gloss & Exceptional Durability
Forms a hard, scratch-resistant, and alcohol-proof layer after curing, ideal for high-end applications (e.g., electronic panels, cosmetic packaging).
Eco-Friendly & Safe
VOC-free (no volatile organic compounds), compliant with RoHS, REACH, and other international environmental standards. Suitable for food packaging and children's products.
Vibrant Colors & High Opacity
Excellent pigment dispersion and coverage, supports Pantone spot color matching, and accurately reproduces intricate design details.

Comparison with Traditional Screen Inks
| Feature | UV Screen Ink | Solvent-Based Screen Ink |
|---|---|---|
| Drying Time | 1-3 sec (UV light) | 10-30 min (air drying) |
| Eco-Friendliness | VOC-free, low odor | Contains solvents, requires ventilation |
| Abrasion Resistance | Excellent, chemical-resistant | Prone to wear, often requires lamination |
| Substrate Range | Plastics/metals/glass/etc. | Primarily paper/some plastics |
Usage Guidelines
Pre-Printing Preparation:
Clean substrate surface (recommended: alcohol wipe for degreasing).
Screen Mesh Selection:
Choose mesh count based on pattern complexity (higher mesh for finer details).
Curing Conditions:
Ensure UV lamp wavelength compatibility (recommended: 365nm or 395nm), exposure distance: 10-15cm.
Storage Requirements:
Store away from light (below 25°C), seal after opening to prevent curing.
