FREE Webinar: Adhering Flexo Inks to Substrates: The Surface Energy Solution
Product ID: SUF61213
Info: 2:30pm - 3:30pm EDT
Date: June 19, 2013
Need Details?: Program Outline
Flexographic ink systems cover a wide gamut - solvent-based, water-based, and ultraviolet-light cured. These system categories will include solvents, colorants, resins, additives, oligomers, monomers and other unique compounds. Each ink component influences the viscosity and surface energy of the ink and its relative adhesion to various substrates at different press speeds. Surface energy is the common denominator between ink and substrate, quantifying the disruption of intermolecular bonds that occurs when a surface is created and interfaced with. The surface energy is the excess energy at the surface of a material compared to the bulk, and must be critically modified to optimize adhesion...
