In particular, UV-blocking properties are an industry standard for UV inks. Tygon® Ink 1000 has shown over an accelerated testing period that it can maintain ink integrity with our patented technology, making it an ideal candidate for the UV market. Chemical compatibility and flexibility are two of the most important criteria for ensuring satisfactory performance in the ink transfer space. Tygon® Ink 1000 was specially engineered to deliver exceptional performance in an environment where UV inks are used, such as digital printing and 3D printing applications. This product has been tested with various diluents (IBOA, VMOX, HDDA, etc.) and has shown excellent chemical resistance properties over an extended testing phase. Typical applications include digital, inkjet, wide format, packaging, and 3D printing.
