UV ink domestic and international market conditions and development trends (below)

5.UV inkjet ink

In addition to the above-mentioned UV inks, a new type of ink, UV inkjet ink, is also worthy of attention. A new type of flat panel inkjet printer using piezoelectric nozzle technology is strongly promoting the application of UV curing technology to inkjet inks. In addition, piezoelectric showerhead technology is also used today in hybrid printers and stand-alone machines. These new areas of use of inkjet inks provide a development opportunity for UV inks, which is expected to reach the current scale of screen printing.

The advantage of UV inkjet ink is that it not only has the advantages of traditional UV technology in economy and technology, but also has outstanding advantages in use and operation, mainly in the following points.

(1) There is no volatile organic compound.
(2) Low energy demand.
(3) Fast curing.
(4) Suitable for a variety of soft and hard substrates.
(5) No curing before UV lamp irradiation.
(6) Do not block the nozzle and do not clean the nozzle.
(7) The ink composition is stable.
(8) Good print quality and resistance, such as abrasion resistance, water resistance, and light resistance.
(9) No ink wastage.

Therefore, UV inkjet inks are currently developing very fast, and have a great tendency to replace traditional inkjet inks.

6.UV Printed Circuit Board Ink

In the production process of the circuit board, there is one called this printed circuit board. UV inks used in printed circuit boards include: UV inks for resist (including plating), UV inks for solder resist, and UV inks for character marks, all of which are printed by screen printing.
Foreign UV Ink Development

The development of foreign UV inks is very fast. In the United States, the largest market for UV inks is offset printing, which accounts for about 40% of the market. Followed by screen printing (30%), the growth in the 1990s was particularly strong, becoming one of the preferred technologies for optical disc manufacturing. Figure 1 shows the growth trend of UV inks in North America in recent years. Of course, the United States occupies a dominant position in this market. Table 1 shows the market size of UV inks in North America in 2000. European 2000 UV ink products totaled 20,500 tons. The Asian UV ink market started late compared to Europe and the Americas, but the growth rate is not low. Among Asian countries, Japan has the largest market share.

Domestic UV ink development

Although the domestic UV ink market started late, it has been thriving in recent years with the sustained rapid growth of the domestic economy. According to the inaccurate statistics of the China Radiation Society Professional Committee on Radiation Curing, the output of UV inks reached 6,514 tons in 2003, an increase of 64.2% over 2002, with an output value of 441,310,000 yuan, an increase of 55.7% over 2002. Among them, offset printing UV inks, photoimaging resist inks, optical imaging solder mask inks, optical disc inks and other high-grade ink production have greatly increased. Since domestic UV inks have a low starting point and UV inks are favored by the industry, domestic UV inks will have better market prospects and will achieve rapid development in the coming years.
