Proell KG to Highlight Inks, Coatings at Fakuma 2017

Proell KG will highlight its inks and coatings at Fakuma 2017, which will be held Oct. 17-21 in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
 
Proell KG’s core businesses are custom-made chemical products for coating/decorating plastics and other materials, innovative ink systems for IMD/FIM technology, and screen and pad printing inks.
 
Among the product that will be highlighted are Norilux DC, a formable, abrasion 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 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 278 or 312 to create matt and high gloss effects in one item. Besides the high glossy Norilux DC lacquer, various satin gloss, textured and matt grades as well as pigmented and UV-stabilized versions are available.
 
Tactile surface structures e.g. brush effects and 3D patterns can be printed with the highly resistant lacquer. The Dual-Cure screen printing lacquer can be used for overprinting silicone-free UV, solvent and water-based screen printing inks as well. Norilux DC dries by evaporation of the solvents in jet dryers. Films decorated with Norilux DC can be 3D formed after box oven drying e.g. by high pressure forming or thermo forming. Afterwards, the formed films must be UV cured.
 
The cured lacquer layer shows excellent resistances to abrasion, chemicals and cleaning agents and passes various creme tests of the automobile industry. In automotive interior, center stacks, touch panels and decorative trims are first surface protected with Norilux DC. Second surface decoration is printed with the IMD/FIM ink system NORIPHAN HTR N.
 
NORIPHAN XMR is a halogen-free two-component ink system for IMD/FIM. A mild screen printing ink, NORIPHAN XMR is formable. It offers high electrical resistance in capacitive fields. For decorating 3D parts, NORIPHAN XMR can be processed by pad printing as well.
 
Matt Lacquer ATM WB 6 is a water-based, UV-stabilized and formable matt lacquer system for overprinting polycarbonate film instrument gauges, such as speedometer panels.
NoriPress PP is an adhesion promoter for IMD/FIM technology (film insert molding) that makes back molding of second surface screen printed PP films with polypropylen injection molding material possible. Automotive decorative parts and panels as well as motorcycle fairings and tool housings can be produced in durable quality by using the PP IMD/FIM process.
 
Nori Protect XCP is a glossy, solvent-based and weather resistant two-component screenprinting protective lacquer that shows good chemical and mechanical resistances. The lacquer has been formulated user-friendly in terms of ingredients and is free of aromates cyclohexanone and phthalates.
