Luminova Ink

Application

• Luminous sign, emergency signs (emergency exit, emergency stairs, emergency equipment, etc), decorations, etc.

• Automobile, Motorcycle

• Home Appliance (IoT)

• Smartphone, Tablet, Smart watch

• Sensor

• Game

• Others

Features, Function

• Various UV type and solvent type inks can be used according to the printing materials and application
• The luminescence is completed in about 4 minutes, and the luminescence lasts for about 1-2 hours.
• The luminous intensity is nearly proportional to the light intensity when the stimulus light is of low intensity (less than 100 lux) and constant above that.
• Shorter wave length of stimulating light is effective for luminescence of stored amount. For example, when stimulated with the light of same intensity, tungsten bulb has a luminescence rate of 100 [arbitrary units], a white fluorescent lamp has a rate of 180, and a daylight fluorescent lamp has a rate of 220.

Substrate

• According to each ink type

Dilution

• According to each ink type
• Stir the ink thoroughly before use

Recommended cleaner

• According to each ink type

Mesh

• T 100 to 150 mesh（Coverage is 12m²/kg at T 100 mesh）

• *Coarse mesh is recommended, as the luminous intensity changes depending on the thickness of the ink layer.

Drying, Curing

• Please refer to respective ink catalog for drying conditions.

Standard colors

Caution

• Checking before production: Adhesion and resistance properties may change due to differences in substrates, processes, printing and drying conditions. Be sure to check the adhesiveness and resistance properties before mass production printing
• Ink shelf life: 3 months from production date, unopened.(when stored in cool, dark place)

Safety

• Please refer to respective ink catalog for transportation information.

Handling

• Use safety gloves and eyeglasses to protect skin and eyes. If the ink comes in contact with skin, wash with soap and plenty of water (or lukewarm water) and consult with a doctor.
