Mirror Ink FSI (First Surface Ink) Screen Printing Ink
The newly developed Mirror Ink FSI (First Surface Ink) is suitable for printing mirrors on the first surface of the substrate. Surface like chrome effects can only be produced on high gloss surfaces. In comparison with second surface mirrors, the gloss level is slightly lower, but on dark high gloss surfaces, impressive chrome effects can be achieved.

| Mirror Ink M3 – improved climate resistance
Mirror Ink M3 is a new improved screen printing ink for printing chrome effects.
The ink system is used for second surface decoration of transparent plastics and films (PC, PMMA, rigid PVC, pre-treated PET films) and glass.
While drying, the metal pigments are aligned parallel to the substrate’s reverse side.
Viewed through the transparent material from the first surface, the pigments create a mirror like effect. To improve the resistance of the printed mirror, Mirror Ink M3 should be overprinted with a mild solvent-based ink system (NORIPHAN® N2K) or a water-based screen printing ink (Aqua-Jet® FGL M).
High gloss effects can be achieved, even if Mirror Ink M3 is printed on the first surface of a smooth substrate.
Mirror Ink M3 shows good printing properties and excellent climate stability. Large areas and fine details can be easily printed. Due to the pigment particle size, fabrics from 77 to 150 threads/cm (195 to 380 threads/inch) are recommended.

constant viscosity of color shades
NVP-free
Processing:
press-ready
excellent printability when printing fine details
high blocking resistance
Finishing:
excellent formability

| NoriProp N - pad printing ink for untreated polypropylene
NoriProp N is a high gloss one-component pad printing ink for untreated and pre-treated polypropylene.
It shows comparatively good resistances towards hand perspiration and crèmes. Due to these advantages, NoriProp N is used for decorating writing utensils and medical utensils (syringes, sachet and bags) made from PP.
NoriProp N is also suitable for decorating toys (DIN EN 71, part 3). Only high grade pigments with excellent light fastness are used.
The ink is easily processable, regardless of whether the machine is equipped with an open well or a closed cup. A wide range of color shades is available from stock.

| Norilux® DC-3 - abrasion resistant dual-cure screen printing lacquer
Norilux® DC-3 is a high glossy, formable, abrasion resistant dual-cure screen printing lacquer. Norilux® DC-3 can be used as protection lacquer or hard coat on PC and PMMA films being not resistant to abrasion.
Norilux® DC-3 is ideally suited for first surface coating of products manufactured in IMD/FIM technology. Processing of the dual-cure lacquer requires printing conditions without UV light.
The cured lacquer layer shows excellent resistances to abrasion, chemicals and cleaning agents. The dual-cure screen printing lacquer can be used for overprinting silicone free UV, solvent and water-based screen printing inks (pre-tests required).
Norilux® DC-3 dries by evaporation of the solvents in jet dryers.
The printed films are formable, e.g. by high pressure forming or thermo forming. Before further processing of the printed films, it is necessary to remove nearly all solvent residues from the layer of lacquer and substrate. Well ventilated box ovens can be used.
Films decorated with Norilux® DC-3 can be 3D formed after box oven drying. Afterwards, the formed films must be UV cured. Depending on the thickness of the lacquer layer, UV doses of 1200-2000 mJ/cm2 are necessary (Kühnast UV-Integrator, UV 250 to 410 nm, max. 365 nm). The higher the UV dose, the better the abrasion and scratch resistance of the lacquer surface.
