Talking about the Performance Requirements of Varnish for Varnish
November 17, 2022
In addition to having a colorless, odorless, strong gloss, rapid drying, and chemical resistance, the ideal coating oil must also have the following properties.
1, film transparency, no discoloration
Decorative prints to obtain excellent glazing effect depends on the formation of a colorless, transparent film on the surface of the printed sheet, and the graphic does not change color after drying. And it should not be discolored or yellowed due to sun exposure or long use.
2, the film has a certain degree of wear resistance
Some glossy prints require some abrasion resistance and scratch resistance after polishing. Because of the assembly line production processes such as high-speed box-making machines, cardboard boxes and packaging machines, and book covers, the surface of prints is subject to friction and must therefore have wear resistance.
3, have a certain degree of flexibility
The glossy film formed on the surface of any type of varnish must maintain good elasticity so that it can adapt to the flexibility of paper or paperboard, and it will not be damaged or cracked or peeled off.
4, film resistance to environmental performance is better
After glazing, some of the printed matter is used to make all kinds of packaging cartons. In order to be able to protect the products being packaged, the glazing film layer must have good environmental resistance. For example: The packaging of food, cigarettes, cosmetics, clothing and other commodities must have moisture-proof and mildew-proof properties. In addition, the chemical properties of the dried film must be stable. Do not change the performance due to contact with a weak acid or weak base or other chemical substance in the environment.
5, has a certain adhesion to the surface of the print
Due to the integral density value of surface ink layers, the printability of the printed matter is greatly reduced. In order to prevent the dry and cracked film from drying after use, it is required that the film has strong adhesion, and the ink and ink transfer are used in various types. Accessories have a certain degree of adhesion.
6, good leveling, smooth membrane surface
There are various types of materials for printing materials, and the effects of printed graphics, such as the surface absorptivity, smoothness, and wettability, are very different. In order to make the coating on the surface of different products can form a smooth film layer, it requires coating oil. Leveling is good, film surface is smooth after film formation.
7, post-printing processing flexibility
After the glazing of prints, it is generally required to go through the post-process processing, such as: molding processing, stamping and electro-aluminum processing. therefore. It is required that the post-printing processing of the coating film should be wide enough. For example, the heat resistance is better. After the electro-aluminization is stamped, no sticking phenomenon can occur; the solvent resistance is high, and the dried film cannot be blisters, wrinkles, and hair due to the influence of the adhesive in the post-processing. Viscosity phenomenon.
