China Photochromic Ink Suppliers - UV Color Change Screen Printing Ink from Reliable Factory
Product Peculiarity
Color change
Under ultraviolet irradiation, color-changing ink can change from colorless to colored, or from one color to another. This change is reversible, that is, after the light disappears, the ink will return to its original color.
Environmental protection
Usually water-based formula, friendly to the environment.
Flexibility
The printed coating has good flexibility and is suitable for use on flexible substrates such as fabrics.
Durability
The printed pattern has good washable resistance and wear resistance.
Wide application
Suitable for a variety of substrates, including paper, fabric, plastic and so on.
Printing Process
Ink preparation
Color-changing inks are usually made by mixing color-changing pigments (such as spiroxide, naphthalene and pyranes, etc.) with a transparent substrate. The pigment particle size is usually between 2-5 microns to ensure good dispersion and printing effect.
Screen selection
High mesh mesh (such as 32 lines /cm) is usually used to ensure the fineness of the pattern.
Printing process
The ink is printed on the substrate using screen printing technology. After printing, it usually needs to be dried at a certain temperature. In order to achieve the best discoloration effect, the thickness and curing conditions of the ink need to be controlled when printing.
Curing conditions
Color-changing inks after printing usually need to be dried at 60°C to 100°C. During the curing process, the intensity and irradiation time of ultraviolet rays will affect the color-changing properties of the ink.
Aging test
In order to evaluate the durability of color-changing inks, artificial aging tests are often performed to simulate outdoor light conditions.
