Uviflex Invisible Blue: UV Flexo Varnish for Covert Marking and Security
Uviflex Invisible Blue is a UV-curable flexographic varnish formulated for instant curing and absolute transparency under standard lighting conditions. This specialized coating reveals its luminescence exclusively under ultraviolet light (black light) or automated inspection systems. It is the ideal technical solution for integrating discreet marking, optimizing quality control, and ensuring traceability and anti-counterfeiting protection in premium packaging, all without altering the aesthetic design of the container or label.
Operational Advantages on Press
- Discreet and secure marking: Enables the invisible integration of codes, patterns, and machine-readable signals for strict product authentication.
- Instant UV curing: Delivers maximum productivity and on-press stability, operating with 100% solid technology.
- High mechanical durability: Exhibits excellent scratch, rub, and intensive handling resistance during post-printing processes (die-cutting, lamination).
- Substrate versatility: Guarantees perfect anchorage and broad compatibility across paper, cardboard, and all types of plastic films.
