Flint Group opens up its specialty portfolio to include new UV metallic silver and introduces three metallic pastes for narrow web. Already performing well in Europe, the new low-migration product range will be rolled out early in the year, starting in North America this March.
These latest additions to the UV low-migration range, round out the complete Flint Group Narrow Web offering, which includes cold foiling and laminating adhesives as well as several other UV flexo coatings. Flint’s new UV silver is a first generation low-migration single component UV flexo ink, tested to migration levels below 10 ppb when correctly applied on suitable packaging structures. This was verified based on the standard migration test method using food simulants 95% ethanol.
Flint Group Narrow Web also introduces three new metallic pastes to market, suitable for low migration ink systems, its Rich Gold, Pale Gold and Silver. These are specialised for use in two-component ink systems, which allows printers to pick up necessary components allowing them to mix gold and silver shades locally in both Lithocure ANCORA (UV offset) and Flexocure ANCORA (UV flexo) systems.
