UV 108-VT

Spring Inks UV 108 VT (Violet) is a premium, high-viscosity UV-curable overprint varnish featuring a distinct violet color profile in liquid form that cures to a 100% clear, transparent, and non-yellowing finish. Specially engineered for conventional ink duct and offline UV coating systems, it delivers excellent gloss, an ultra-smooth lay, and superior slip properties. It provides heavy-duty chemical and scratch resistance alongside robust adhesion across a wide range of substrates.

Spring Inks UV 108 VT (Violet) is a high-performance coating solution designed for printers who prefer a higher viscosity profile for precise ink-duct control. The specialized violet tint assists press operators in visual monitoring during application, yet it cures to absolute optical transparency. This energy-efficient formulation is built to withstand high-volume production, ensuring an immaculate finish that enhances the visual appeal and longevity of the printed piece.

Key Features & Performance Benefits

  • Optically Transparent & Non-Yellowing: While presenting a violet color in the container, it cures to a 100% clear, transparent, and non-yellowing protective layer, preserving the crisp integrity of true whites and vivid colors beneath.

  • Excellent Gloss & Smooth Lay: Formulated with high-viscosity flow dynamics that level out beautifully under press pressure, yielding a deep, luxurious gloss with an ultra-smooth, uniform lay.

  • High-Speed, Low-Energy Curing: Engineered for rapid curing cycles; it dries exceptionally fast and consumes less UV light energy, helping to maximize press throughput while lowering energy overheads.

  • Advanced Scratch & Chemical Protection: Imparts a highly durable surface barrier that features excellent chemical and scratch resistance, shielding commercial packaging and prints from tough handling conditions.

  • Excellent Slip Property: Delivers a slick, premium surface finish that eliminates friction and prevents blocking, enabling trouble-free stacking and automated post-press converting.

  • Multi-Substrate Versatility: Displays powerful, lasting adhesion across an extensive variety of paper and board substrates.

  • Operator Friendly: Developed with a low characteristic smell, ensuring a much more pleasant and compliant environment for press operators.
