hubergroup relaunches UV flexo portfolio

‘When revising our UV flexo portfolio, we focused on the question of how we can simplify printers' work,’ said Alexander Blasek, global project manager UV Flexo at hubergroup. ‘Our answer: we offer all the products necessary for UV flexo printing from a single source. For this reason, we have set up our portfolio very broadly with printing inks, varnishes, adhesives as well as primers and made sure that the products perfectly harmonize with each other. Our native service staff around the world are on hand for customers to ensure a smooth implementation of the new UV flexo system and are also always available for on-site support afterwards.’  

 

The iray products cover a wide range of applications and are characterized by high scratch resistance, good adhesion, low odor values and high-yield inks. In addition, they are designed for fast printing and rapid finishing. UV-curable flexographic inks and varnishes for food packaging are brand new in the portfolio of the printing ink specialist. Thanks to intensive research and carefully selected raw materials, they meet the  hubergroup's high MGA (low migration and low odor) guidelines, which have stood for safe application on food packaging for many years.   

 

With the help of numerous laboratory tests, hubergroup has ensured that its inks and varnishes are deinkable on film and paper. 

 

In addition, the PMV department of the Technical University of Darmstadt certified that the products can be deinked very well on paper using INGEDE Method 11.  

 

Blasek added: ‘At hubergroup, we take a holistic view of sustainability and want to drive the circular economy forward. We are thus continuously working to further improve the eco-balance of our products and look forward to working with customers as well as organizations who want to shape a sustainable future together with us.’
