Properties & Characteristics |
Chemical Composition |
- Resin systems: Acrylic, polyurethane, chlorinated polymers, etc. |
- Pigments: Organic/inorganic pigments |
- Solvents: Esters, ketones |
- Additives: Levelling agents, adhesion promoters |
Polarity |
Moderate polarity, good compatibility with ABS substrate (polar polymer), minimal surface pretreatment required (corona treatment optional) |
Adhesion |
Excellent adhesion to ABS substrate (containing butadiene), no primer needed (verified by cross-cut test / peel test) |
Viscosity |
Low to medium viscosity, suitable for screen printing, pad printing, spraying, gravure printing, etc. |
Drying Mechanism |
- Volatile drying (room temperature or low-temperature baking) |
- Optional UV curing or thermal curing (improves chemical resistance) |
Film Properties |
- Adjustable gloss (matte/high gloss) |
- Abrasion resistance: Scratch-resistant |
- Temperature resistance: Short-term ≤80°C (long-term ≤60°C) |
Chemical Resistance |
Resistant to alcohol, grease, weak acids/alkalis, and daily cleaning agents |
Environmental Features |
- Solvent-based types contain VOCs; water-based/UV types have low VOCs |
- Some certified by RoHS, REACH, etc. |
Printing Compatibility |
- Designed for ABS plastics (e.g., home appliance casings, 3C products, toy parts) |
- Compatible with curved surfaces and rough textures |
Color Performance |
- High color saturation and vibrancy |
- Yellowing resistance: Antioxidants delay long-term aging and yellowing |
Typical Applications |
- Mobile phone casings, automotive interior parts, home appliance panels, toy decorations, sports equipment logos |
Special Functions |
- Conductive ABS inks (for electromagnetic shielding) |
- Matte/tactile inks (special texture requirements) |
- Metallic effect inks |
