\nStand highlights will include the global launch of FasciaCoat<\/em>, Sun Chemical\u2019s new hardcoat varnish for dashboard fascia and an addition to the SunHytek<\/em> range of products for high-tech, appliance panel and automotive applications. Aqueous, formable and VOC-free, FasciaCoat<\/em> is a hard varnish that dries to a matte finish, minimising glare, and that has the ability to \u2018self-heal\u2019 scratches created during the production process.
\nHighlighting the depth and breadth of its solutions as one of the world\u2019s largest producers of screen inks and a single source for all ink requirements, Sun Chemical will be demonstrating its capabilities and expertise within four zones on the stand: Digital Textiles, Graphics, Industrial and Partnerships & Technology.<\/p>\nDigital Textiles<\/h1>\n
\nIncluded in the product range is SunTex Sonata DTE<\/em>, a transfer dye sublimation ink series for printing polyester sport garments. This ink has been awarded the Oeko-Tex EcoPass<\/em>, enabling printers to achieve the Oeko-Tex 100<\/em> printed garment certification. Also part of the range is SunTex Sonata DDE<\/em>, a dye sublimation ink developed to meet the key requirements of direct print to polyester fabrics, delivering excellent \u2018show-through\u2019 properties for double-sided output such as flags and banners. SunTex Sonata DDE also offers excellent wash and bleed fastness, a critical feature for outdoor printed fabric applications.
\nSun Chemical will also be presenting its innovative SunTex Encore PDE<\/em> pigment ink. Encore PDE is the result of many years of R&D and is formulated to deliver improved colour vibrancy, while maintaining excellent wash and wet-rub resistance. Encore PDE can be printed directly onto both natural and synthetic textile fabrics, such as cotton, viscose, silk and polycotton, which are widely used for interior decoration and home furnishing.
\nCompleting the range is SunTex Concerto RDE<\/em>, a reactive dye ink series that delivers excellent colour vibrancy when printing directly to fabrics, such as silk and cotton, while maintaining the soft ‘feel’ or ‘hand’, a key requirement for clothing garments.
\nSun Chemical will also have print demonstrations showing the excellent performance of Sonata DTE inks on the booth. The printer will also showcase the latest ECOPROISU<\/em> ink pouch system developed to enable extended running and greater economy.<\/p>\nGraphics<\/h1>\n
\nSun Chemical will also highlight its Streamline range of solvent-based, alternative inkjet inks, designed for wide and super wide format printers. For the wide format market, Sun Chemical will be presenting Streamline ESL 3<\/em>, a fully colour-matched and compatible ink series to the latest Roland Eco Sol Max 3<\/em> ink series.
\nStreamline ESL 3<\/em> is the latest product formulated from Sun Chemical’s highly successful HPQ-LO (<\/em>High Print Quality – Low Odour) backbone ink chemistry platform, the first alternative solvent ink platform to achieve the Greenguard & Greenguard Gold certification for indoor emissions. The Streamline ESL<\/em> (Roland), Ultima<\/em> (Mimaki). MUTLO<\/em> (Mutoh) and SGX<\/em> (Epson) ink ranges are fully Greenguard Gold certified.
\nSun Chemical continues its commitment to the Super Wide Format (SWF) solvent inkjet market with further improvements to reduce customer ink consumption costs. Another feature is improved drying performance at lower temperatures, saving electricity costs and reducing solvent fumes for the operators. Ink overspray has also been significantly reduced to remove the need to clean between every print job, so the customer has more productive press time each day.
\nFor the many large format graphic printers who produce billboards that are frequently replaced, Streamline offers the option to use the Streamline Rapide Magenta and Yellow SWF solvent inks. These inks are ideal for display prints, such as movie posters at cinemas, which will be replaced within a year.
\nThe Streamline Rapide series is available for most super wide format Streamline ranges and offers cost-effective alternatives for environments where premium performance is required, but where extended outdoor durability is not needed.<\/p>\nIndustrial<\/h1>\n
