Sunjet to show off membrane technology at InPrint

At InPrint 2018 (20-22 November, Milan) Sunjet, the inkjet brand of Sun Chemical and DIC, will showcase DIC’s proprietary Separel hollow fibre membrane technology for degassing inkjet ink, which it says results in consistently smooth printing, reduced substrate and ink waste, shortened printer cleaning times and lower printer cleaning costs.

Separel membranes can degas inkjet ink to the parts per billion (ppb) level. On the InPrint stand, the Sun Chemical advanced materials division will highlight SunTropic, developed to cater for the growth in printed electronics and touch-screen technology applications. The range includes new conductive solutions incorporating nano-silver particles for improved sinter at lower temperatures, advanced dielectric materials as well as its latest etch-resist solutions and masks. Sun Chemical will also showcase: SunHytek, heat and humidity-resistant ink solutions for appliance panel and automotive applications; SunCarte high peel strength, colour-consistent screen and offset inks, adhesives and varnishes for laminated plastic cards; and SunPoly screen inks formulated for high-speed screen printing on a variety of container substrates. “Inkjet technology is a key enabler for many industrial based applications, which is why it is increasingly being used in, or alongside, manufacturing processes. We are incredibly excited about how its use in this field will evolve and we continue to stay committed to the research and development of ground-breaking solutions to cater for this growing demand,” said Peter Saunders, global business director at SunJet.
