New Products from Proell KG
Proell KG's core business lies in the development of custom-made chemical products for coating/decorating plastics and other materials, as well as innovative ink systems for IMD/FIM technology, and screen and pad printing inks.
Norilux DC
Norilux DC is a formable, abrasion and chemically resistant Dual Cure screen printing lacquer. Norilux DC can be used as protective lacquer or hard coat on PC, PMMA, ABS and PP films.
Norilux DC is ideally suited for first surface coating/protection of products manufactured in IMD/FIM technology.
The glossy version of the dual cure lacquer can be printed on textured film surfaces to produce abrasion resistant and transparent display windows.
The matt version of Norilux DC can be printed on uncured transparent hard coat films such as Makrofol HF 278 or 312 to create matt and high gloss effects in one item.
Besides the high glossy Norilux DC lacquer, various satin gloss, textured and matt grades as well as pigmented and UV stabilized versions are available.
Tactile surface structures e.g. brush effects and 3D patterns can be printed with the highly resistant lacquer.
The lacquer can be used for overprinting silicone-free UV, solvent and water-based screen printing inks as well.
Norilux DC dries by evaporation of the solvents in jet dryers. Films decorated with Norilux DC can be 3D formed after box oven drying e.g. by high pressure forming or thermo forming. Afterwards, the formed films must be UV cured. The cured lacquer layer shows excellent resistances to abrasion, chemicals and cleaning agents and passes various creme tests of the automobile industry.
In automotive interior, center stacks, touch panels and decorative trims are first surface protected with Norilux DC. Even mobile phone covers and sanitary panels are overprinted with the highly resistant lacquer. Second surface decoration is printed with the IMD/FIM ink system Noriphan HTR N.
Noriphan XMR screen printing ink for IMD/FIM technology
Noriphan XMR is a halogen-free two-component ink system for IMD/FIM technology. Noriphan XMR is formable, shows extremely high wash-out resistance and outstanding cohesion in compound. The mild screen printing ink can be used as decorating ink or wash-out protective layer on PC films and PET films. Noriphan XMR can be printed on Noriphan HTR N and vice versa.
Noriphan XMR shows high electrical resistance in capacitive fields. The black color shades are excellent suited for touch panel applications.
The highly resistant screen printing ink can be used for conventional printing applications as well. Noriphan XMR shows excellent adhesion on PC films, PC blend films, pre-treated PET films and corona treated PE and PP films. Even on various scratch resistant surfaces or hard coat lacquers and TPU materials a good ink adhesion can be achieved. Pre-tests are mandatory for these substrates.
In case of decorating 3D parts, Noriphan XMR can be processed by pad printing as well.
NoriPress PP – Adhesion Promoter for PP-IMD/FIM
NoriPress PP is an adhesion promoter for IMD/FIM technology (Film Insert Molding) which makes back molding of second surface screen printed PP films with polypropylen injection molding material possible.
Up to now, back molding of PP film laminates was possible only.
For decorating corona pre-treated PP films, the IMD/FIM screen printing inks Noriphan XWR and NoriPET are best suited. The printed film shows excellent cohesion in compound values when back molding with Daplen EE 158 Al (Borealis).
Automotive decorative parts and panels as well as motorcycle fairings and tool housings can be produced in durable quality by using the PP IMD/FIM process.
Nori Protect XCP
Nori Protect XCP is a glossy, solvent-based and weather resistant two-component screen printing protective lacquer showing good chemical and mechanical resistances.
Nori Protect XCP is suitable for printing on polycarbonate, rigid PVC, polystyrene, ABS and SAN, pre-treated PET films and corona.
