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:

as well as a UV-LED-based structure gloss hybrid lacquer system:
SENOLITH® UV OFFSET MATT LACQUER HYBRID LED 369866 in combined printing with

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.
