Good Crinkle resistance
After addition of Hardners @ 5% at the time of printing, good alkali resistance, good adhesion and soap resistance is obtained. Hence our A.R inks after addition of Hardners are suitable for detergent pack printing.
Recommended Application:-
For high quality, Tonal printing and fine line printing at high speed on Polyethylene Film.
Substrates: -
Can be printed on all types of Polyethylene, Polyproplyene, PVC, PT, MST.
For Polythylene and Polyproplyene film the treatment should be 38 dynes per / cm for good adhesion and optimum resistance properties.
Printability: -
Excellent printability in Half Tone and good coverage in Full Tone.
