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.

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.

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.

Available on the market immediately, the 900UV1437 opaque white will also be on show on Ruco’s stand at Labelexpo Europe 2013, taking place September 24-27 in Brussels, Belgium.
