Key Features
Key Features and Benefits
Designed for Fluted Polyolefins
UVPO inks are uniquely developed to adhere reliably to pre-treated fluted polyolefin sheets, such as those sold under trade names like Correx®, Corriboard®, Doeflex®, and Akilux®. These materials are commonly used for lightweight, rigid signage and packaging, and UVPO offers a dependable solution where many traditional inks fail.
Single-Pack, UV-Curing System
The UVPO series is a ready-to-use, single-component ink system, requiring no mixing or catalyst additions. It cures instantly under UV light, making it ideal for fast-paced screen printing operations and ensuring quick handling, stacking, or further processing.
Exceptional Adhesion
One of the standout features of UVPO inks is their excellent adhesion to polyolefin substrates, which are traditionally challenging due to their chemically inert surfaces. When applied to corona- or flame-treated sheets, UVPO inks create a tough bond that resists peeling and delamination.
Superior Water and Weather Resistance
Once cured, UVPO inks exhibit outstanding water resistance and weather durability, making them ideal for outdoor use. Printed materials maintain their integrity and visual quality even when exposed to rain, moisture, and UV radiation, making UVPO ideal for temporary and semi-permanent outdoor signage.
Fast Cure Speeds
With rapid UV curing capabilities, UVPO inks support high-speed production workflows and enable efficient in-line screen printing processes. This fast cure time reduces downtime and energy costs, while maximizing output.
Robust Print Performance
UVPO delivers smooth laydown, strong colour opacity, and consistent ink coverage, resulting in vibrant and durable prints. It performs well across a range of screen meshes and printing conditions, providing reliable, repeatable results.
Typical Applications
- Estate agent boards and real estate signs
- Outdoor advertising signage
- Promotional boards and retail display panels
- Custom printed fluted polypropylene packaging
- Folders, boxes, and temporary exhibition graphics
- Event and directional signage
Sun Chemical’s UVPO Series is the go-to ink solution for screen printers working with fluted polyolefin substrates, combining ease of use, reliable performance, and rugged durability. Whether used for real estate signage, promotional displays, or lightweight packaging, UVPO inks help printers produce eye-catching, weather-resistant graphics that stand up to the elements and the demands of commercial use.
