Flint Group adds EkoCure UV LED coatings

Flint Group’s EkoCure coatings have been developed using specially selected raw materials that match the narrow and targeted wavelength area that is typical for UV LED lamp output. It added that they are the first commercially available UV LED coatings available in the market.

The range of EkoCure UV flexo coatings available include gloss and matte coatings, product resistant coating, low COF shrink coating, cast and cure Coating, rotary screen tactile coating, primer coating for non-topcoated films, primer coating for various shrink films, a non-yellowing coating and coatings with or without optical brighteners.

‘This is only the beginning,’ the supplier said in announcing the EkoCure UV flexo coatings. ‘Flint Group can develop a coating to meet the specific requirements of almost any narrow web printer using its EkoCure UV LED technology.’

Flint Group’s EkoCure UV flexo and screen inks are the first-ever narrow web printing inks developed for use in combination printing. First launched in the US in 2012, these inks are now globally available through Flint Group’s distribution network.
