Sun Chemical Introduces MTG™ UV Hard Coat System
Parsippany, NJ
- October 24, 2007 -- PARSIPPANY,
N.J., USA - Screen printers have a new ink system solution that holds
up better to the high heat and immense pressure used in manufacturing
formable plastic parts. At SGIA 2007, Sun Chemical launched the MTG™ UV
hard coat system for use in making formable and non-formable
automotive, appliance, cell phone, and medical parts.
The MTG-FORMTM is the only formable UV
hard coat system available on the market. With extraordinary elongation
properties, MTG-FORM UV ink can stretch up to 1.5 inches as plastic
parts, such as air conditioning and radio dials in cars, become three
dimensional.
“As the graphics on plastic formable parts
are pushed into their appropriate locations, the plastic and ink must
withstand an enormous amount of heat and pressure to form properly,”
said Curt Baskin, marketing manager, Sun Chemical’s Specialty Inks
Group. “The MTG formable ink does not fracture in these high-pressure
situations.”
By using either the MTG-FORM or MTG-NFTM,
Hi-tech automotive manufacturers can avoid the expensive and burdensome
use of nitrogen curing products. In addition to passing the aggressive
specifications for automotive and Hi-tech applications, MTG has
excellent mar and scuff resistance and outdoor durability. Both MTG
sets can be used as standalone hard coats or can be blended together to
alter the desired finish, and are available in either matte, gloss or
texture clear finishes.
