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 
printing. 
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

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
o
C and 
30
o
C.  Storage outside of these temperatures may lead 
to deterioration in the performance of the products. 
When stored in a cool environment the inks are 
expected to have a shelf-life of 12 months from date of 
manufacture.

Safety and Handling 
Uvijet KI Inks: 
•  Have a flash point greater than 60
o
C and are 
therefore not classified as ‘dangerous substance’ 
under the Dangerous Substances and Explosive 
Atmospheres Regulations (DSEAR). 
Comprehensive information on the safety and handling 
of Uvijet inks is given in the appropriate Safety Data 
Sheets.  
Environmental Information 
Uvijet KI Inks: 
•  Do not contain ozone-depleting chemicals as 
described in the Montreal Convention. 
•  Are formulated free from aromatic hydrocarbons. 
•  Are free from any volatile solvent and can therefore 
be considered to have less impact on the 
environment when compared to solvent-based 
products. 
 
Uvijet Fusion Adhesion Master - ZE720: 
• 
Does not contain ozone-depleting chemicals as 
described in the Montreal Convention. 
 
Uvijet KI has received the Nordic Ecolabel 
certification. The Nordic Ecolabel is a well-
established and internationally recognised 
environmental labelling scheme that 
contributes to sustainable consumption and helps 
consumers identify environmentally-friendly products.
