NoriCure® CCI LED is a UV-curing screen printing ink suitable for printing on PVC and PETG core films used in card production. NoriCure® CCI LED 093 Varnish has excellent lamination properties and peel resistance with both uncoated and coated PVC films (e.g., Pentacard® CC-M278/01-51/8800-494-SB6-100 µm) at a temperature of 140°C (285°F).
Effect Pigment Colors and Tones:
Silver and gold tones can be prepared by mixing NoriCure® CCI LED with suitable effect pigments or effect pigment mixtures. For effect inks and colored inks, it is strongly recommended to use coated PVC films (e.g., Pentacard® CC-M278/01-51/8800-494-SB6-100 µm) to achieve good lamination properties and high peel resistance.
Stencil:
UV inks and solvent-resistant emulsions should be used. Excellent results during long production times are obtained with Pröll Diazo-UV-Polymer Emulsion Norikop 10 HQ.
Squeegee:
Squeegees with average hardness between 75° and 80° Shore can be used.
Auxiliary Products:
NoriCure® CCI LED is ready for printing. For special processing and application conditions, viscosity adjustment and reactivity enhancement auxiliaries are available upon request.
UV Curing:
For printing with 77-55 T mesh (195 threads/inch), the UV dose should be approximately 1600 mJ/cm² (LED-Powerline PLD 385 nm, Dr. Hönle AG / UV-Design UV-Integrator UV-4C-LED SD, spectral range: 230 – 445 nm). The required UV dose depends on the ink layer thickness, substrate type, and color, and should be adjusted according to these parameters for sufficient curing.
Processing:
NoriCure® CCI LED must be processed under UV light protection. Unseen UV radiation from sunlight and artificial light sources (e.g., fluorescent lamps) should be prevented. Required equipment can be sourced from EncapSulite® International Inc., Rosenberg, Texas, or the EncapSulite European Office, Cologne, Germany. The following UV-blocking products are especially recommended:
Cleaning of Tools and Equipment:
UNI-REIN A III or UNI-CLEANER FP61 should be used.
