What is UV Printing & UV Coating?
UV printing (ultraviolet printing) and UV coating are advanced surface treatment processes that use ultraviolet light to instantly cure or dry specially formulated inks and coatings as they are applied to plastic surfaces. Unlike traditional printing methods that rely on heat or air drying, UV technology provides:
-
Instant Curing: UV light cures ink in seconds, eliminating drying time and enabling immediate handling
-
Superior Durability: Creates a hard, protective layer with excellent scratch resistance and wear resistance
-
Vibrant Colors: Maintains exceptional color brilliance and sharpness with no bleeding or fading
-
Environmental Benefits: Solvent-free, VOC-free process makes it an eco-friendly alternative to conventional coatings
-
Room Temperature Process: No heat required, preventing thermal deformation of plastic parts
Outstanding Advantages of UV Coating & Printing Technology
Our professional UV coating process uses UV lamp light curing paint with superior performance characteristics that exceed traditional coating methods
💎 High Hardness & Durability
Achieves surface hardness up to 5-6H (pencil hardness scale), providing exceptional scratch resistance and long-term durability. The crosslink density of UV cured coatings far exceeds hot-baking type coatings, ensuring superior performance in demanding applications.
⚡ Ultra-Fast Curing Speed
UV light cures coatings in mere seconds, dramatically increasing production efficiency. This instant curing allows for immediate secondary processing, packaging, and shipping, reducing lead times and accelerating your time-to-market.
🌡️ Room Temperature Process
Unlike thermal curing methods, UV coating operates at room temperature, making it ideal for plastic workpieces that are sensitive to heat. Prevents thermal deformation, warping, or dimensional changes in thermoplastic components.
✨ Brilliant Gloss & Fullness
Creates a rich, high-gloss finish with excellent fullness and depth. The coating forms a smooth, mirror-like surface that enhances the visual appeal of your products, perfect for premium branding and display applications.
🔗 Excellent Adhesion
Superior bonding to plastic substrates ensures the coating won't peel, crack, or delaminate even under stress. Combined with excellent flexibility, the coating accommodates minor flexing without compromising integrity.
🛡️ Outstanding Resistance Properties
Exceptional wear resistance, water resistance, solvent resistance, yellowing resistance, chemical resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and salt spray resistance. Ideal for outdoor signage, automotive components, and harsh environment applications.
🌿 Eco-Friendly Technology
UV coating is a pollution-free process during application, recognized as a green product. Contains no harmful solvents or VOCs, making it safer than traditional PU paints and compliant with environmental regulations worldwide.
🎨 Versatile Design Options
Supports full CMYK color printing plus white ink and clear varnish for unlimited design possibilities. Create stunning graphics, logos, text, photos, gradients, and special effects including spot UV, textured finishes, and raised 3D effects.
