FORDIA UV-HC Series UV-Curable Offset Ink
Technical Data and Application Guide
The UV-HC Series uses a UV-reactive formulation, with UV-curable acrylic resin as the primary film-forming component, combined with photoinitiators, reactive diluents, pigments, fillers, and functional additives. The formulation contains no solvents or other volatile raw materials. Designed for conventional UV offset printing, the series balances on-press stability, rapid curing, color performance, substrate adhesion, and cured-film durability.
Laboratory data covers gold/silver card stock, PET, PVC, and similar substrates. Substrate composition, surface structure, cleanliness, and surface tension all affect actual adhesion. To achieve the performance levels shown below, the substrate should receive appropriate surface treatment, with a recommended surface tension of at least 38 dyne/cm. Adhesion must be verified using the applicable on-site test method before full production.
