Luminous Pigment, also known as phosphorescent pigment, is a type of colourant that is able to absorb and store light energy from a light source and then emit it slowly over time in the form of a soft glow. It is commonly used to add a special effect to paints, coatings, plastics, and other materials. Luminous Pigment is made up of tiny particles that contain special phosphorescent compounds. These compounds are designed to absorb and store light energy, usually from natural or artificial light sources. When the light source is removed, the Luminous Pigment begins to emit the stored energy in the form of a soft glow. Luminous Pigment is available in a range of colours, including green, blue, yellow, pink and more. It can be used to create unique effects on a variety of surfaces, such as walls, clothing, toys, and safety equipment. In addition to decorative purposes, glow in the dark pigment is also used in emergency lighting and safety signage, where it can help to guide people to safety in low-light conditions. Luminous Pigment have the following properties:- Good Hiding Power Excellent Chemical Resistance Excellent Light Fastness Excellent Physical Stability Glow In The Dark Effect They are used by consumers and businesses to make craft projects, decorative cosmetics, paints and to make safer work and home environments, fishing widgets, and for hundreds of other extremely useful projects.   All of the pigments with a White day colour will glow for 10+ hours whereas the pigments that show a colour during the day glowing from 4-10 hours

Polyamide resin is reacted from dimer acid and diamine. This product is mainly used in gravure plastic printing inks and paper printing inks. It has very good adhesion on polyethylene material, especially be fit for printing on polyethylene film, plastic film such as tinsel composite laminated film. The printing ink which is made from this polyamide resin has good adhesion, high gloss, low freezing point, good solvent release and good compatible with nitrocotton. We are producing 2 types of Polyamide resin at present. Type 1: Common use for gravure plastic printing ink, flexographic ink Item Specification Co-solvent polyamide resin Alcohol soluble polyamide resin SM-550L SM-550 SM-550H SM-560 SM-960 Acid value (mgKOH/g) ≤ 5 5 5 5 5 Amine value (mgKOH/g) ≤ 5 5 5 5 5 Viscosity (mpa.s/25 οC) 70-100 100-140 140-170 170-200 120-170 Softening point (οC) 105-118 105-118 105-118 105-118 115-125 Color (Fe-Co) ≤ 8 8 8 8 8 Freezing point ≤ 2 2 2 2 2 Note: viscosity of co-solvent polyamide resin, 40% solid, solvents are xylene: isopropanol: alcohol=4:3:3, by rotation method. Viscosity of alcohol soluble polyamide resin, 50% solid, solvent is alcohol, rotation method. Type 2: Specialize for untreated PE/PP gravure ink it has excellent adhesion to untreated PE/PP. Meanwhile, it has outstanding adhesion to treated PE/PP and aluminum foil as well. As printing ink applied both to untreated and treated PE/PP, which has wide range of adaptability. Item Index Acid Value mgKOH/g <15 Amine value mgKOH/g <3 Softening point ºC 90~100 Viscosity 30-70 mpa.S/25ºC Mixing Proportion: 40% resin, 60% solvent (Xylol: ethylalcohol:IPA=4:3:3 Color size ≤12 According to customer's request, we also can produce polyamide resin with excellent freezing resistance or high temperature resistance.

The adhesion of the ink film on the substrate is called the adhesion fastness of the ink. In plasticgravure printing, there are many factors that affect the adhesion fastness of ink on the surface ofthe substrate. Only by comprehensive analysis and evaluation of ink components, solvent properties, and substrate properties can the ink’s adhesion fastness be fundamentally improved. The test of ink adhesion fastness is generally measured by scotch tape sticking and pulling. If the ink is transferred in a large area or completely after sticking and pulling, it means thatthe ink has poor adhesion on the printing film. Poor ink adhesion will cause a large area or all ofthe ink to transfer when the composite film is unrolled, resulting in low composite strengthand affecting the use of composite packaging bags. The ratio of true solvent to false solvent in the ink solvent will also affect the ink adhesionfastness. Although the false solvent cannot actually dissolve the resin, its cooperation withthe true solvent can make the polarity of the mixed solvent system adjustable in a wide range,so as to adapt to the polarity of the ink resin itself and achieve the best solvency. Resin molecules are stretched microscopically in a solvent system with suitable polarity, which isconducive to dispersion and wetting during the grinding process with pigments, and formsa uniform package state. However, if the proportion of the false solvent is out of balance,the stability of the resin system will deteriorate, the microscopic resin molecules will becomecurled, and even multiple resin molecules will be entangled and wrapped by the false solvent,which will not be well formed with the pigment particles during the dispersion process.Very good wetting will affect the uniformity of ink fixation and film formation on the surface of the substrate, and the adhesion will decrease. It can be seen that in plastic gravure printing inks, there are many factors that affect theadhesion fastness of the ink on the surface of the substrate. Only by comprehensively consideringthe performance indicators of the ink can the ink have a fundamental impact on the adhesionfastness. While improving, it will not affect other properties of the ink. Sunman Resins can improve quality of your ink. Such as: glossiness, adhesion, fast drying, yellow resistance, leveling, weather resistance and pigment wettability. So if you have any questions, contact us now.
