Water-resistant flexo coating

UVitec Printing Ink, Inc. introduces 22422-87 Water Resistant Flexo Coating. This product prints a clear high gloss overprint that will provide excellent water resistance for both hot and cold water.  Works best when applied with low line count anilox cylinders (below 180 and above 5 BCM).      This product is durable enough to be used in high contact situations and will provide a reasonably good amount of rub resistance.  This product is ideal for high end folding cartons and prime labels that will be exposed or immersed in water.

This product is designed to cure at reasonably high speeds and is comparatively resistant to scuff and rub. While this coating is designed to seamlessly integrate with UVitec’s premium offset, letterpress and flexo series of inks, it is manufactured to complement most other ink systems available, including water based ink systems.
