where finishing prints may require cutting, drilling or
routing, it is recommended that a Uvijet Fusion Primer
is used prior to printing to aid adhesion and mechanical
performance. However it is strongly recommended that
all substrates are tested before a commercial run. For
information on adhesion promoters refer to the Uvijet
Fusion Primer range.

Plastics
Some plastic substrates may contain lubricants which,
like plasticisers, may impair adhesion and block
resistance for a considerable time after printing.

There may also be residues from glues and adhesives
used on backing sheets. This can be overcome by
wiping the surface with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) before

To reduce the risk of problems generated by the build-
up of static electricity it is advisable to pass an earthed
anti-static brush over the material prior to printing. Allow
static generated from protective sheets to dissipate
before printing. Ensure that the printer is cited as per
recommended humidity/temperature recommendations
40-70% RH, 18-30

Chemical and Abrasion Resistance
Uvijet KI inks have good chemical and abrasion
resistance. However for optimum resistance over-
varnishing with a durable UV screen varnish such as
Uvibond UV383 is recommended.

Outdoor Use
Accelerated weathering tests have been carried out in a
Xenon Arc Weatherometer set to the SAEJ 1960
Standard. Under these conditions the accelerated
weathering of Uvijet KI inks equates to approximately
24 months outdoor exposure in a temperate climate
such as Northern Europe.

For polyethylene and polypropylene materials such as
Correx, it is recommended that Fusion Adhesion Master
ZE720 is applied prior to printing to maximise outdoor
weather resistance.

Storage
Uvijet KI ink should not be stored in direct sunlight or
near heat sources and should be kept away from
peroxides. For optimum shelf-life, products should be
stored at moderate temperatures between 5
