-Gravure Inks: Gravure is a printing method in which an image is applied to a printing substrate by use of a metal plate mounted on a cylinder. Unlike other processes, gravure uses a depressed or sunken surface for the desired image. The image to be reproduced is etched into the metal plate, sometimes with the use of a laser. The metal plate is bathed in ink during the process and then wiped clean before application to the substrate. Gravure's strength is that its process can produce high-quality runs rapidly, but the costs are higher than other printing methods. One of the major applications for fluorescent gravure inks is in the printing of light boards and cartons. Other applications include; commercial printing of magazines, postcards, corrugated (cardboard) for product packaging, food packaging, wallpaper, wrapping paper, furniture laminates and panelling.
-Flexographic Inks: Flexography is a printing process which uses a raised rubber or photopolymer plate with a rubber fountain roller or engraved chrome or ceramic anilox roller to carry ink to the plate. It is a popular and lower cost method of printing and is able to approximate the look of surface gravure or screen depending on the particular design. Flexo printing usually prints seven or eight colours, though some machines may go as high as twelve. Flexography is a high-speed print process using fast-drying inks. It can print on many types of absorbent and non-absorbent materials and is frequently used for printing on to plastics, metallic films, acetate films, paper, and other materials used in packaging. -Metal Food Can Coatings: Metal food and beverage cans have a thin coating on the interior surface, which is essential to prevent corrosion of the can and contamination of food and beverages with dissolved metals.In addition, the coating helps to prevent canned foods from becoming tainted or spoiled by bacterial contamination. The major types of interior can coating are made from epoxy resins, which have achieved wide acceptance for use as protective coatings because of their exceptional combination of toughness, adhesion, formability and chemical resistance. Such coatings are essentially inert and have been used safely for over 40 years. In addition to protecting contents from spoilage, these coatings make it possible for food products to maintain their quality and taste, while extending shelf life.
-Industrial Can Coatings: Industrial coatings are thin films deposited on materials to add or enhance specific properties such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, conductivity, etc. Industrial coatings are used in production plants and by qualified applicator shops to coat discrete parts, finished assemblies (automobiles, trucks, aircraft, vessels), tanks, piping, metal sheet, continuous webs, wood panels, paper, and paperboard.
