FLASH DRY™SSPET SeriesFDSS PET BIO Series

The Toyo Ink Group develops and provides biomass products using renewable plant-derived raw materials for various types of printing. Introducing the industry's first UV biomass screen ink, the FDSS PET BIO series, which contains biomass ingredients. UV screen ink that can be used on various plastics (polycarbonate, acrylic, ABS, treated polyethylene, treated polypropylene), including untreated polyester bottles and treated polyester polyester sheets. It has excellent adhesion and coating properties, and is also suitable for post-processing because it does not use silicone-based additives.

Characteristics (other)
  • As a biomass ink containing 10% or more of biomass raw materials in dry weight, we have obtained the Biomass Mark (registration number: 210130) certified by the Japan Organic Resources Association.
  • Excellent reproducibility of gauze omissions, fine letters, and fine lines during high-speed printing.
Finish, texture, appearance effect Gloss (glossy)

Heat dry curing conditions Curing: 120W/cm metal halide lamp x 10m/min
Auxiliary agents, additives, cleaning solvents, etc.
  • FDSS water resistance additive――――Adhesion/ water-based improver
  • FDSS PET BIO Regiuser --- Viscosity modifier
  • TU262FDSS thickener --- Viscosity modifier
  • FDSS compound CBS――――Curing improver
  • SS Plate Cleaner ECO Series------A plate cleaning agent for screen printing that does not fall under organic regulations or the PRTR law. SD is the standard type, and QD is even faster drying.

*When using various additives (adhesion improvers, thickeners, antifoaming agents, curing accelerators, etc.) other than FDSS PET BIO Regiuser, the upper limit is 108% (total amount of various additives per 1 kg of ink). (up to 80g).
Please note that it is necessary to comply with the dry weight biomass content.

How to use ink & precautions The ink can be used as is after stirring, but in the following cases, adjust the ink using an auxiliary agent.
  • water-based
    If the following requirements are met, please add 3% of "FDSS water resistance additive". If too little is added, sufficient water-based will not be obtained, and if too much is added, curing will be poor, so please be sure to follow the additive amount.
    1) When it is difficult to maintain and manage the appropriate degree of frame treatment (balance of adhesion and water-based).
    2) When the product is used in a high temperature and high humidity atmosphere (bathroom, kitchen, etc.).
    3) If a pasteurizer (hot pack, hot shower wash, etc.) is used during the filling process.
    4) When high content resistance is required.
    Please note that the usable time after adding the additive is approximately 12 hours at room temperature, so please add the required amount to the ink.
    This product gradually reacts with moisture in the air, so close it tightly after use and store it in a cool, dark place.
  • Viscosity adjustment
    *Appropriate amount of adjuvant used
    ・FDSS PET BIO Regiuser: 3-10% added to ink
    ・TU262FDSS thickener: 0.5-1% added to ink
    1) Temperature change
    The viscosity of UV-curable inks is highly temperature dependent, especially at low temperatures, the viscosity (or tack) increases and the transferability of the ink decreases, so please use the FDSS PET BIO resister together to adjust the viscosity. In addition, if thin lines, thick characters, or sagging occur, please adjust with TU262FDSS thickener.
    2) Printing speed
    The higher the printing speed, the lower the viscosity (tack) and the need for easier transfer.
    As in 1) above, add Regiuser etc. depending on the metastatic state.
  • storage
    It polymerizes (gels) when exposed to ultraviolet light or heat, so please store it in a closed container in a cool, dark place with good ventilation (below 25℃).
  • Adhesion between overprints
    If the second color is printed after the first color underprint ink has been cured excessively, the adhesion between the inks may be insufficient. In that case, please adjust the UV lamp output to adjust the degree of curing of the underprint ink.
