Low-energy curing UV printing ink Thiol-80L: a double breakthrough in environmental protection and high efficiency

May 15, 2025 Leave a message

In the fields of printing, coatings and electronic packaging, the dual demands of energy conservation and environmental protection and efficient production have promoted the innovation of UV curing technology. Thiol-80 (Low Energy Curing UV Printing Ink Formulation) launched by Shenzhen U-Sunny has become a key solution for industry technology upgrades due to its low energy consumption curing and multi-scenario adaptability. This article deeply analyzes its formula design, application scenarios and market competitiveness.

 

1. Core technical advantages of Thiol-80
Thiol-80 is based on the thiol-ene photocuring system. By optimizing the synergistic effect of photoinitiators (such as isopropyl thioxanthone) and prepolymers (polyurethane acrylate), it achieves efficient curing under 365nm UV LED light source, and reduces energy consumption by 40% compared with traditional mercury lamps. Its photoinitiator absorption wavelength accurately matches the low-energy light source, and can complete deep curing within 5-8 seconds, avoiding surface stickiness or uneven curing caused by insufficient energy.

In addition, Thiol-80 uses low-viscosity active diluents (such as trimethylolpropane triacrylate), which not only reduces the system viscosity to 150-300cP (suitable for gravure and flexographic printing), but also reduces solvent volatilization, with a VOC content of <0.5%, which meets the EU ROHS and ISO 12219-3 environmental protection standards.

2. Multi-field application scenarios
Printing ink:

Metal/glass substrate: Adhesion ≥15MPa, salt spray resistance test ≥1000 hours, suitable for high-precision printing such as beer cans and electronic screens.

Flexible packaging: Excellent flexibility after curing, supports coil stamping and bending processing, and reduces printing loss.

Industrial coatings:

Used for automotive interiors or home appliance panels, scratch resistance up to 5H (Shore hardness), temperature range -40℃~120℃.

Adhesives and nail polish:

No irritating odor after curing, passed biocompatibility test, suitable for medical device packaging and nail salon scenes.

 

Thiol-80 redefines the industry standard of UV printing inks with low energy consumption, high adhesion and zero solvent emissions. Whether it is to improve printing efficiency or promote the green transformation of the manufacturing industry, Thiol-80 provides reliable support for customers.
