Uviflex inks are designed to deliver improved gloss in the stretched areas of the can and have an improved chemical resistance that helps the product stand retorting in harsh conditions.

Other products to be presented by the company at Euro CanTech include SunAltec LEDCure MB series and SunDuo Comet range.

SunAltec LEDCure MB series is a set of free radical, UV-LED curable, lithographic inks designed for the external decoration of monobloc aerosol cans.

According to Sun Chemical, the lithographic inks use the latest generation of UV-LED curing technologies and deliver low film weight prints.

The SunDuo Comet range is meant for the beverage can market and offers improved mileage, gloss and printability.
