MIDACURE® LED 42515 Series

Flexographic Printing Inks for LED Curing Applications As LED curing systems gain wider acceptance in the Flexographic industry, the obvious benefits of the systems have been widely recognized. Extended lamp life beyond 30,000 hours, instant on, "cool curing" with minimal heating and distortion of the substrate, reduced energy consumption, consistent depth of cure, no toxic mercury from the lamps and no ozone generation (and therefore no necessity for ventilation), are all significant benefits. It is expected that these improvements will continue and be enhanced as the technology advances. More and more flexographic LED systems are being installed and MIDAD having long recognized the potential benefits of this exciting new technology, is ready with inks that will meet or exceed your printing and curing requirements. Our MIDACURE® LED 42515 Series Flexo inks offer excellent shelf stability, great runability on press, fast curing with most modern LED curing systems (and also cure under conventional Mercury UV systems), and are available in 4C, spot colors, metallics, and high opacity opaque whites for all label, sleeve and packaging applications. Features Easy handling with excellent application and end use properties Applicable for shrink sleeve use on most common substrates Cures rapidly and completely with new LED curing units* Dual cure under Mercury UV Less waste Stable in container & on press Easy to wash up Very low odor ** Low misting at high speeds Allows for a healthier pressroom environment by eliminating ozone Applications Prime Label Shrink Sleeve Folding Carton Pharmaceutical Aluminum Foils Many others *Note that LED units vary greatly in output depending on the manufacturer. Press speeds may have to be adjusted downwards with lower power output systems. ** Although these inks have very low odor, they are not considered low migration formulas and cannot be used safely for those type of applications.
