Proell GmbH Heading to K 2022

Proell will be showcasing a range of products at K 2022. Its core business lies in the development of custom-made chemical products for coating/decorating plastics, metals, glass and other materials, as well as innovative ink systems and protective lacquers for IMD/FIM technology, and screen and pad printing inks.

Product News:
• NORIPHAN HTR N 990/011 NC  non-conductive black for IMD/FIM technology

NORIPHAN HTR N is an established, formable, backmoldable and solvent-based one-component screen printing ink for film insert molding technology.
Due to the development of the new deep black opaque color shade NORIPHAN HTR N 990/011 NC, a carbon black-free, non-conductive black is available for printed electronic applications now.

The color shade can be used for decorative prints but is mainly used for plane multi-layer printing or backing of metallic and polymer conductive pastes. Carbon-based pigments, so called carbon blacks, normally used for black color shades, are electrically conductive and can interfere with the functional structures.

NORIPHAN HTR N 990/011 NC meets the increased requirements regarding thermal resistance and the demanding hydrolysis test in the automotive industry.

• NORIPHAN® N2K screen printing ink for IMD/FIM technology

NORIPHAN N2K is a well-established solvent-based two-component screen printing ink for IMD/FIM technology. The glossy ink system is optimized for processing thin PC films (< 175 µm). Films decorated with NORIPHAN N2K show no curling effect.

Nowadays this IMD/FIM ink system is used especially for printed electronics applications. The deep black and opaquely formulated color shade NORIPHAN N2K 953 is suitable for the decoration of touch panels and shows high electrical resistance in capacitive applications.

The NORIPHAN N2K 953 color shade meets the increased requirements regarding thermal resistance and the demanding hydrolysis test in the automotive industry.

NORIPHAN N2K ink system is also used for overprinting, embedding and protecting of the sensitive conductive pastes. The ink layers prevent from wash-out effects during the injection molding process.

• Norilux DC

Norilux DC is a formable, abrasion and chemically resistant Dual Cure screen printing lacquer. Norilux DC can be used as protective lacquer or hard coat on PC, PMMA, ABS and PP films. Norilux DC is ideally suited for first surface coating/protection of products manufactured in IMD/FIM technology.

The glossy version of the dual cure lacquer can be printed on textured film surfaces to produce abrasion resistant and transparent display windows.

The matt version of Norilux DC can be printed on uncured transparent hard coat films such as Makrofol HF 312 to create matt and high gloss effects in one item. Tactile surface structures e.g. brush effects and 3D patterns can be printed with the highly resistant lacquer.

• NoriCure HC-1

NoriCure HC-1 is an UV-curing screen printing lacquer showing excellent scratch and abrasion resistance. The cured surface of the lacquer resists even strong wipes with steel wool. The high gloss UV-lacquer is designed for printing on PC films, coated PET films (e.g. Autotype Autoflex EPG 180, Autotex V200), and various rigid PVC films and for overprinting of printed products.

The lacquer is used to overprint and protect displays, lenses and panels. The cured lacquer shows excellent resistances to chemicals and cleaning agents. Besides the high gloss NoriCure HC-1, matt (NoriCure HC-1-001) and textured (NoriCure HC-1-002) as well as UV-stabilized (NoriCure HC-1-003) versions are available.
