New Raw Materials for UV Inks and Varnishes

UV-curable inks and varnishes have been one of the fastest growing technologies in the past two decades. This growth is forecast to continue well into the future with the development of new applications for UV curing, such as inks for food packaging. New raw materials are required to ensure that UV-technology can meet the challenging demands of low odor and low migration while maintaining high reactivity. New photoinitiators will be introduced with the key benefits of low odor, high reactivity and excellent compatibility with acrylates.
