UV adhesives, the building block for excellent results!

UV Curable Adhesive

Foilcure Adhesives are UV curable adhesives designed for cold foiling and are used on flexo or letterpress applications running between 150 and 300 fpm. They are developed in conjunction with foils and can be printed in any pattern, quickly and easily. The adhesive flows out smoothly and evenly on most surfaces and is suitable for use on a wide range of substrates.

Typical Properties

Directions for Use

Flexographic or Letterpress

1. Make sure that the surface to be coated is clean and
    contaminant free.

2. Apply a thin film to surface using an anilox roller. Film thickness
    depends on users requirements and substrate.

3. Films should be treated or top coated.

Successful use of this product will vary depending on the available power of the UV light, the speed of the press, the distance between the UV light and the foil/substrate contact point, and the condition and hardness of the nip roller.

Processing Techniques

1. Coated or filled stock is recommended to prevent soaking in. 

2. Films should be pre-treated or top coated.

3. Press speeds of between 150 and 300 fpm are recommended.

4. Use as sharp an angle as possible when lifting the foil away
    from the substrate to maintain sharp lines on your image. 

5. For more information, refer to the cold foiling guide.

Handling

Prevent contact with skin, eyes, and clothing. Refer to MSDS for further recommendations.
