Introduction
Analysis of the core content of the standard
This standard systematically regulates the technical indicator system of UV curing inks for flexographic printing for the first time, focusing on controlling key parameters such as curing energy (≤35 mJ/cm²) and viscosity range (500-3000 mPa·s), filling the gap in the industry.
Comparison Analysis of Technical Indicators
| Project | International Standard | CY/T 227 Requirements | Test Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| Curing Energy | ASTM D5264 | ≤35 mJ/cm² | Appendix A UV Test Paper Method |
| Color Difference Control | ISO 12647-6 | △Eab*≤2.0 | Spectrophotometer Method |
| Thixotropy | DIN 53214 | Viscosity increase ≤ 20% | Rotational viscometer method |
Key process control points
Anilox roller matching principle
The standard stipulates that the number of lines on the anilox roller should be 4-7 times the number of lines on the printing plate. For example, when using a 150 lines/inch printing plate, it is recommended to use an anilox roller with 600-1050 lines/inch.
Curing system configuration
- UV wavelength: 280-420nm band
- Cooling system: must be equipped with forced air cooling or water cooling device
- Energy monitoring: it is recommended to calibrate with UV test paper every 4 hours
Solutions to common problems
Handling of poor curing:When ink adhesion occurs, check: ① UV lamp life (usually ≤1000 hours) ② Cleanliness of reflector ③ Surface tension of substrate (≥38 dyn/cm)
Suggestions for the implementation of standards
- Establish an ink entry inspection system, focusing on monitoring fineness (≤10μm) and initial viscosity
- The printing workshop needs to maintain a constant temperature environment of 23±5℃
- It is recommended to check the wear of the anilox roller every 5,000 prints
