Product News: Senosoft


Improved further development:

• Water based

• Matt degree under 10 GP

• Extreme soft and velvety surface

• Hot stamping suitable

• Over-coatable with UV lacquers

• Low consumption thanks to high softeting pigment

concentration

• Combined with hardener:

• Suitable with non absorvent substrates (OPP,

PET film)

• High rub & checmical resistance

•UV- C •UV-B •UV-A

•sun light

•solarium

• welding

•UV lacquer curing

•Indispensable for polymerisation of

printing inks and lacquers for fast

and complete post-reaction

•For the support and

maintenance of waves for a

good curing

•Ensures the curing

of very strong ink and

lacquer layers

Seite 18

HUV Inks and coatings:

• Use only the wave lengths above 280nm (UV-B)

• Iron-orientated UV lamps vs. Mercury UV lamps

• Ozone generation is almost completely eliminated

• No interdeck driers necessary for the HUV inks

= less energy consumption

• Still few raw materials available in Europe

• At the moment the price difference compared to standard UV

coatings is huge



Seite 19

LED Inks und Coatings:

•Specific wave-length peaks 365 / 375 / 385 / 395 nm

(monochrome light), a specially designed photo-initiator is necessary

• Lamp distance and the narrow spectrum still limit its use

• Ozone generation is almost completely eliminated

• Lifespan of the UV-LED lamps is markedly higher

• No significant heating of the substrate takes place




Trends: Digital


•Current: Offline coating via traditional methods such as

roller coaters, screen-printing, etc.

•Future: Inline coating via either traditional methods or

via digital coating (using digital data)

•What have been your experiences?

•Specific presentation from Mr. Kirmeier tomorrow

Trends: Digital


Trends: SENOFLEX WB


•Post-Print using WB systems for corrugated is on the rise

•Print quality is improving to almost offset levels

• Future prediction:

Mass packaging will be printed almost exclusively on flexo

•What have been your experiences?

•Specific presentation from Mr. Dort tomorrow

Trends: SENOFLEX WB


Trends: SENOLITH FP


•More controls and regulations coming in effect

worldwide

•The migration limits are getting smaller

•News media is also paying more attention

•For these reasons:

•New UV FP NDC Series has been developed!

•Article numbers from 36040… series are being

replaced by newer articles (360424, 36425, etc.)

Trends: SENOLITH FP


•Which trends have you seen in your market?

Trends: Your experience
