With immediate effect WEILBURGER Graphics GmbH, based in Gerhardshofen, Franconia, is offering a total of six new lacquers for the use of LED-based drying systems for the offset and flexo printing. 

These are two UV-LED lacquers which can be applied by regular coating unit:

SENOLITH^® UV GLOSS LACQUER LED 360750

SENOLITH^® UV MATT LACQUER LED 360760

two UV-LED inking unit lacquers:

SENOLITH^® UV OFFSET GLOSS LACQUER LED 369855

SENOLITH^® UV OFFSET MATT LACQUER LED 369865

as well as a UV-LED-based structure gloss hybrid lacquer system:

SENOLITH^® UV OFFSET MATT LACQUER HYBRID LED 369866 in combined printing with

SENOLITH^® UV GLOSS LACQUER HYBRID LED 360753 

The general advantages of LED curing are:

• Energy-saving compared to conventional UV technology
• Radiation energy is available immediately
• (no waiting times for starting up or by cool down)
• minimal heat input into the substrate
• high durability of the radiators
• possible pointed radiation
• Lamps do not contain toxic substances, i.e. mercury
• No ozone development at the used wavelengths
• Lacquers for absorbent substrates, such as paper and cardboard 

The new lacquers of Weilburger are characterized by good gradation, very high gloss / good matt values as well as minimal yellowing tendency and are currently available for the both wavelengths 385 nm and 395 nm.
