Flint Group Narrow Web introduces new UV flexo ink
Flint Group Narrow Web has launched Flexocure Force. The new UV flexo ink is claimed to offer easier handling due to lower viscosity and no foaming, greater adhesion to a wider range of substrates, as well as improved performance on many variable printing techniques.
Flint Group’s product manager for UV inks, Par Olsson, said: ‘As an integral part of developing new products we always involve leading quality minded converters in the development process. They are asked to explain and exemplify prior to the project what properties and parameters they are missing in the market, and after we have listed all parameters our researchers start to build the technology that can provide solutions for them.’
‘Naturally we close the loop by getting these parameters verified and controlled by the same clients by offering them Beta test opportunities prior to the commercialization of any of these products. With regards to results from the Beta test of Flexocure Force, we did get an overwhelmingly positive response with literally 100 percent of the customer feedback reporting clear improved properties from printability and adhesion to press performance. Obviously we are very pleased that we have managed to exceed the ambitious target of improving on all of the identified properties.’
