Flint Adds Two UV Rotary Screen Whites

Published: June 24, 2014

PLYMOUTH, MN | Flint Group Narrow Web reports the expansion of its screen opaque portfolio in North America with two new CombiWhite X2 inks:

• USW91043 is intended to be used as a “first down” UV rotary screen white and reportedly has improved adhesion to many newer films in the marketplace today. This opaque white is said to provide outstanding opacity and whiteness and to cure and print smoothly at higher speeds than traditional products.

• USW91039 is a “second down” white, which is used when a white is needed in a print sequence that is “trapped” between other print layers. This white will print over UV flexo colors and then is able to be printed upon by other print technologies. Company says it will yield good print quality along with excellent adhesion and scratch resistance under severe test conditions.

Products, which are said to be widely used in the health and beauty, beverage, and household labeling applications, are currently available only in the North American region due to regulatory restraints in Europe.
