Ruco adds opaque white ink to portfolio

Ink manufacturer Ruco has launched a new opaque white product intended for use in combination printing processes.

The 900UV1437 opaque white that Ruco has added to its portfolio comes in a low-viscosity and silicone-free formulation.

It is highly reactive to permit give curing and adhesion properties, with “outstanding” flow characteristics. It is suited for overprinting with UV flexographic, offset and letterpress inks.

Available immediately, Ruco’s new 900UV1437 product has been developed especially for UV rotary screen printing combined with UV flexographic printing. Both printing processes are suitable for high printing speeds.

Due to its ability to adhere to a wide range of different substrates, including polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester and PVC, as well as paper and cardboard, Ruco said the new opaque white is universally applicable. Additionally, it is suited for over-embossing with standard hot embossing films.
