Drying / Curing Time Comparison on Different Substrates (standard condition: 25℃, 55‑60%RH, 140 mJ/cm² UV energy)

表格

Substrate Type	UV full curing time	Post‑curing thorough dry (standing)	Remarks
Coated art paper / gold‑silver card	0.4‑1.2 s	15‑30 min	Porous‑absorbing substrate, fastest drying
Aluminized paper / metallic card	0.8‑1.8 s	30‑45 min	Non‑absorbent metallic surface
Treated‑PET film	1.0‑2.0 s	45‑60 min	Surface tension ≥38 dyne/cm required

Light‑proof & Sealing	Keep cans tightly sealed. Prevent solvent volatilization. Seal lid tightly immediately after opening each use.
Shelf‑life	12 months under unopened original‑package standard storage condition
Opened‑container usage suggestion	Fully consume within 3‑4 months after opening; sediment or thickening may occur over long‑time exposure to air.

Warning: If ink shows obvious thickening, gelling, stratified sediment before expiry date, it indicates improper storage; discontinue usage.

5. Solvent‑based Ink Safe Operation Guidelines & VOC Data

VOC Parameter

VOC content: 7.2‑9.5 % (tested according to GB 38507‑2020)
Certification: RoHS, EN71‑3, total lead test, MSDS available for download

Safe Operation Guidance

Ventilation: Keep strong local exhaust ventilation inside printing workshop; avoid long‑term inhalation of solvent vapor.
Personal Protection: Wear nitrile chemical‑resistant gloves; chemical safety goggles recommended for operation; wear impermeable work clothes.
Skin & Eye Contact: If contact with skin, wash thoroughly with soap & clean water; if splashed into eyes, flush large amount of clean water and seek medical help.
Fire‑safety: Keep away from flame, spark and high‑heat sources. No smoking in operation zone.
Waste disposal: Waste ink & contaminated rags shall be treated as hazardous chemical waste, follow local environmental regulation.
Mixing warning: Do not arbitrarily mix with other brand ink or unknown solvent, may trigger gelling & performance failure.

Full safety data please refer to MSDS document.

7. FAQ Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is MOQ? A: Minimum order quantity is 1 kg for test sample. Bulk production order starting from 25 kg. Small test sample is available for press trial.

Q2: What is delivery lead‑time? A: Stock items: ship within 3 working days after payment confirmed. Custom color / OEM private‑label goods: 14‑18 working days.

Q3: What customization service do you provide? A: Custom fluorescent strength adjustment, special light‑fastness grade tuning, OEM private label sticker & custom carton packing; special color matching for packaging projects is acceptable.

Q4: Logistics & shipping for solvent‑based ink? A: Ink belongs to chemical liquid goods. International courier options: FedEx, TNT, DHL, UPS, EMS. Large‑volume bulk order can choose sea freight or air freight. Payment terms: T/T, Western Union, Paypal.

Q5: After UV curing, printed film still feels sticky? A: Check points: UV lamp aging, printing speed too fast, insufficient curing energy, excessive ink film thickness. Increase UV lamp power or reduce printing speed. Allow sufficient post‑curing standing time.

Q6: Poor adhesion on plastic film? A: Confirm substrate surface tension ≥38 dyne/cm. PE / PP film must receive corona pretreatment. Apply matching primer if adhesion still fails.

Q7: Can I mix this solvent‑based UV ink with common water‑based or oil‑based offset ink? A: Not recommended. Different resin systems may cause gelling, precipitation, unstable curing and color deviation. Run small lab test if mixing is unavoidable.
