Pad Printing Inks
Pad printing inks in general
In pad printing, both transparent halftone printing inks
(CMYK) and opaque pad printing inks are used in manydifferent ink shades.
Today, the comprehensive range of pad printing inks
enables the customer to select a pad printing ink type thatis precisely tailored to their requirements.
TAMPOPRINT pad printing inks comply with the REACH
Directive (EC) No. 1907/2006 and the RoHS Directive
2011/65/EU and have the approvals for many other certifications required by the market worldwide.
Depending on the substrate and the requirements on theresistance of the pad printing inks, either 1- or 2-component
inks are used.
UV pad printing inks
For special requirements we offer a UV pad printing ink(1-component).
Preferably used for high quality requirements of high-speed
pad printing systems.
Low solvent content is in line with increased environmental
awareness and at the same time it ensures a reliable production process with a high-quality print result.
Immediate further processing thanks to short drying times
are a clear investment in the future.
Environmentally-friendly pad printing inks
In line with the current issues in dealing with the environment and safety, TAMPOPRINT develops innovative pad
printing inks in cooperation with well-known manufacturers in the printing ink industry. This shows the constantwillingness to innovate and the environmental awarenessof our company. The ink types meet the growing demandsof our customers for halogen- and cyclohexanone-free pad
printing inks.
Mineral oil free packaging production
Our inks have few/no mineral oils, as we work with solvent-based inks. In packaging gravure or offset printing,high-boiling mineral oils are used, which have to be expelled from the print film at high temperatures (over 200 °C).
This is not the case with us.

6technologies for your future

In contrast to heatset inks, our solvent-based inks of course
have advantages here - the heatset inks dry faster. After
printing, the printing process is complete. Our solvent-based
inks still need a reaction time of 24 h up to 5 days. They
react more quickly with heat, but they are not in the samehigh temperature range as heatset inks. Of course, offset
printing cannot be generalized, as coldset inks or UV inks
are also used.
Our service
A fast service in the field of standard and special ink types,
basic ink types in standard and special ink shades is becoming more and more important. TAMPOPRINT can guarantee this fast service despite the large choice of ink types andink shades on offer.
Material safety data sheets
Current material safety data sheets according to the REACH
Directive (EC) No. 1907/2006 are available on request at any
time.
Please send your inquiries to colourmsds@tampoprint.de.
Important note
Basically, all components must be used exclusively from one
and the same manufacturer.
Always mix ink shades of only one ink type.
For example: Ink type ACP = ink shade 61 + ink shade 67.
Processing other media in pad printing
In addition to pad printing inks, other media such as primers, adhesives and lubricants, silicone or soldering pastes,
noble metals, electrical conductive pastes or thermal conductive pastes, etc. can also be transferred to your productusing the pad printing process.
Transferability must be checked and tested by our application engineering department in each individual case.
Storage
At 21 °C, storage stability of at least 12 months is guaranteed in unopened original containers. Excluded are bronze
and effect colors. Higher storage temperatures reduce thestorage stability.

Basic ink formulations formulations
By using basic inks, we offer our customers the possibility of
mixing special ink shades themselves.
We will be happy to advise you and provide you with avariety of formulations.
Ink types: ACP, N.
Ink mixing systems based on RAL and Pantone on request.
See ink shade card page 11.
Standard ink shades
We offer our ink types with up to 23 premixed standard ink
shades. You will receive pad printing inks for all common
applications.
This range also includes European ink shades for halftone
4-color printing (CMYK) as well as gold and silver.
The coverage of ink types and ink shades also depends on
the surface to be printed and the engraving depth, cliché
screening and the number of prints (single or double/multiple printing).
See ink shade card page 10.
Special ink types/shades
Based on your color specifications, the desired ink shade
will be produced in our color laboratory.
Ink shade systems are:
RAL, PMS, NCS,HKS K (glossy), HKS N (matt).
We will also find the right pad printing ink type for special
applications.

Note: Most TAMPOPRINT solvent inks are offered in 1 liter containers. Depending on the specific weight differences of
the respective ink types, a 1-liter container can weigh between 1.2-2.0 kg!
The ink types UV-RDF, RDF-HF and U-HF are offered in 1 kg containers. The specific weight differences of the individual
ink types may mean that containers are not completely filled.

Ink range

Technical Terms
1-component ink
The 1-component inks dry physically by evaporation of thesolvents. This process can be supported by warm air.
2-component ink
After ink transfer and physical drying, a chemical crosslinking reaction starts between binding agent and hardener.
The maximum processing time (pot life) is limited by the addition of hardener (the pot life varies depending on the ink
type and hardener - please refer to the respective technicaldata for details). After this, reduced adhesion and resistancemust be expected, even if the ink still appears liquid andprocessable.

Retarder (solvent)
The retarder is a very slow thinner and only serves to extend
the viscosity without having any negative effects on the ink
viscosity. The addition of a retarder may also be necessary
for large print images or slow pad printing machines.

Solvent-based pad printing inks
Our solvent based pad printing inks are available as 1- or
2-component inks. They are based on different solvents thatoffer the right properties and resistance depending on theapplication and substrate. In order for these inks to adhere
to certain materials or if a certain level of resistance is to be
met, various hardeners are recommended. These can befound on page 10 to 13 and in the respective technical data
sheet in our ink catalog.

Adhesive agent (primer)
In order to achieve ink adhesion with polyolefins such as
PE (polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene), the surface ofthe printed material must be pretreated prior to the printing
process. This can be done with corona, gas or plasma
pre-treatment stations on your pad printing machine.
For PP (polypropylene), the offered adhesive agent PP-1 and
PP-O can be used instead of one of the above-mentioned
processes.

UV pad printing inks
UV pad printing inks are low-solvent pad printing inks thatcure by irradiation with UV light. Since they are 1-component
inks, the addition of a hardener is not required here.

Leveling agent
The leveling agent reduces the surface tension of thepad printing ink. The additional defoaming effect makes
large-area single-color prints (print images) appear morehomogeneous (e.g. orange peel effects). To avoid adhesion
problems when printing "ink on ink", the addition (admixture) of 1 % leveling agent should not be exceeded.

Composition of the printing inks:
Solvent based inks
Additives
Pigments / Extenders
Solvents
Hardeners
Resins

UV inks
Additives
Pigments / Extenders
Monomers
Photoinitiators
Prepolymers

Viscosity
The TAMPOPRINT ink series are not adjusted ready for
printing, but must be individually adjusted to the correct
viscosity with the appropriate thinner (solvent) dependingon the print image and application.
Print additives
Additives are substances added to solvent-based and UV
pad printing inks in small quantities to achieve or improvecertain properties. For example, additives are said to have apositive influence on processing and appearance.

8

Thinner (solvent)The addition of a thinner not only influences the viscosity,
flow properties and ink transfer behavior of the pad printing
ink from the printing pad to the printed material, but also thedrying speed in particular. In addition to universal and fastthinners, there are also thinners available that act slowly orvery slowly depending on the ink type.

technologies for your future

Hardener
A hardener is added to the 2-component inks for better
resistance and adhesion to the substrate. This means thatthe hardener reacts with the remaining resin binder of theprinting ink and creates a crosslinking of the printing ink or
ink film on the printed material.
Disposal
The recommendation for proper disposal is described in section 13 of the material safety data sheet of the pad printing
ink (material safety data sheet available on request).
Cleaning
For all ink types, the pad printing clichés and tools can becleaned with our RM cleaning agent or our cliché spray.

Application technical data sheet

ACP

1- and 2-component ink, gloss ink
Free of cyclohexanone, aromatic compounds, phthalates

Field of application
For high-speed pad printing machines up to 4,000 cycles/h. Universally applicable pad printing ink. Suitable forprinting on the side of the packaging facing away from the food, provided that the inks are used properly andprofessionally.
Properties Permanently elastic, suitable for food packaging (outside), air drying, oven drying, fast drying,mechanical resistance.
Print technical For higher mechanical and chemical loads or if greater adhesive strength is required, the ACP
note ink series can also be used as a 2-component ink. During processing and drying of the ink withhardener, it should be noted that the processing and curing temperature must not be below 15 °C,
as otherwise chemical cross-linking will come to a standstill. Excessive humidity should also be
avoided in the first few hours, as the hardener is moisture-sensitive.
Drying Physically drying and chemically cross-linking.
1-K: At room temperature (21 °C) approx. 30-35 seconds (dust-dry).
2-K: When used with LMN 3 hardener, inks in the ACP series only achieve their high level ofresistance and adhesion after chemical cross-linking, which is completed after approx. 36 hours
at a minimum temperature of 21 °C.
It is advisable to use heat drying to accelerate ink drying on the substrate. Please note: after heat
drying, there must be a cooling section, otherwise the printed parts may "stick together".
Curing At room temperature (20-25 °C) 1-component ink approx. 1 day,2-component ink approx. 2 days.
Pot life Pot life of the mixed ink at least 48 hours (21 °C). After this time, reduced adhesion and resistancemust be expected, even if the ink still appears liquid and processable.
Ability to over- 2-component ink within 24 hours.
print
Please note The high mechanical and chemical resistance is only achieved after the ink has fully cured.
Certification ■ The safety data sheet in accordance with REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 contains the labeling& norms as well as information on protective measures during processing, storage and disposal. The raw
materials used comply with the limit values of the European standard EN 71 (safety of toys) Part 3(migration of certain elements).

Application technical data sheet

CFU

1- and 2-component ink, gloss ink
Free of cyclohexanone and phthalates

Field of application
Universally applicable pad printing ink.
Properties High elasticity, glossy, highly opaque and chemically cross-linking due to the addition of hardener.
Suitable for food packaging (outside), air drying, oven drying, fast drying, good flow, mechanicalresistance.
Print technical During processing and drying of the ink with hardener, make sure that the processing andnote curing temperature does not fall below 15 °C, otherwise the chemical cross-linking will come toa standstill. Excessive humidity should also be avoided in the first few hours, as the hardener ismoisture-sensitive.
Pre-treatment All polyolefins (polyethylene, polypropylene).
Drying The ink type CFU dries physically by evaporation of the solvents at 20 °C within 5 minutes (touchdry). Chemical drying takes place through the addition of hardener (approx. 36 hours at 21 °C).
It is advisable to use heat drying to accelerate the drying of the ink on the substrate. Please note:
After heat drying, a cooling section must be provided, otherwise the printed parts may "stick
together".
Curing At room temperature (20-25 °C) 1-component ink approx. 1 day,2-component ink approx. 2 days.
Pot life 2-component ink: Pot life of the mixed ink 8-12 hours (21 °C). After this time reduced adhesion andresistance, even if the ink still appears liquid and processable.
Ability to over- With 2-component inks, care must be taken to ensure that overprinting is always carried out before
print complete curing of the ink. Fully cured inks can no longer be overprinted.
Please note The high mechanical and chemical resistance is only achieved after the ink has fully cured.
Certification ■ The safety data sheet in accordance with REACH Regulation (EC) 1907/2006 contains the labeling& norms as well as information on protective measures during processing, storage and disposal. The raw
materials used comply with the limit values of the European standard EN 71 (safety of toys) Part 3(migration of certain elements).
Cleaning Only use RM cleaning agent. All cleaning devices and auxiliaries may only be used for chlorine- andcyclohexanone-free ink, otherwise they will be contaminated with halogen. Use our pad cleaner toclean the printing pads.

Application technical data sheetL2-component ink, gloss ink

Field of application
Technical products with very high requirements for chemical stress (e.g. automotive sector).

Properties Impact resistant, block resistant, air drying, oven drying, raster-capable, abrasion-resistant,drying slow, flow (good), mechanical resistance.
Print technical When processing, cans with LMN 1 hardener must be sealed airtight immediately after removal.
note
Pre-treatment All polyolefins (polyethylene, polypropylene).
Drying Chemical-reactive hardening.
After adding BH hardener, physical chemical drying.
At room temperature (20-25 °C) approx. 5 min. (hand and dust dry).
When exposed to heat/air circulation approx. 1-2 min., with thermal diffusion a few seconds.
Oven drying: time and temperature depend on the materials to be printed(Reference value: 80 °C approx. 20 min. depending on ink film thickness).
Curing At room temperature (20-25 °C) approx. 3-4 days.
Pot life Retarder - only use retarder VZ 380.
Pot life of the mixed ink at 20 °C approx. 8 hours, after which reduced adhesion and resistance must
be expected, even if the ink still appears liquid and processable.
Ability to over- Reactive curing inks have the property of being practically solvent-resistant after curing. Ink type
print L can only be overprinted within the curing time of approx. 24 hours. The best multi-color prints
with superimposed ink areas are achieved with printing units connected in series and intermediate
drying stations.
Please note The high mechanical and chemical resistance is only achieved after the ink has fully cured.
Caution! First add the thinner to the ink and then add the LMN 1 hardener.

Halogen-free (without chlorine), free of aromatics and cyclohexanone

Field of application
Used in "open" and "hermetic" pad printing systems. Often used in medical technology, household appliancesand PA substrates.

Properties The inks in the U-HF series are suitable for printing on a side of the packaging facing away from thefood, provided that the inks are applied properly and professionally. Advertising materials industry,
toy industry, medical technology, closure caps.
Print technical During processing and drying of the ink with hardener, care must be taken to ensure that thenote processing and curing temperature does not fall below 15 °C, as otherwise chemical cross-linking
will come to a standstill. Excessive humidity should also be avoided in the first few hours, as thehardener is moisture-sensitive.
Pre-treatment The pre-treatment of polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP), which is essential to ensure adhesion,is carried out by flame treatment, corona discharge or plasma process.
Drying The drying behavior of the U-HF ink series during the printing process is of decisive importance forthe printing result. Physically drying and chemically cross-linking.
At room temperature (21 °C) approx. 5 min., 50 °C within 2 min., heat shock drying in
2-3 seconds (both hand and dust dry). To accelerate the drying of the ink on the substrate, it isadvisable to use a hot air blower or infrared radiator.
Curing 1-component ink = 1 day, 2-component ink = 3-4 days.
Pot life Pot life of mixed ink approx. 8 hours.
Ability to over- 1-component ink yes, 2-component ink within 24 hours.

Pad Printing Ink
Your pad printing ink selection
Which ink type is the right one is based on various influencing factors. The opacity of the ink types and ink shades depends on the surface to be printed as well as the engraving
depth, cliché screening and the number of prints (single or
double/multiple printing). The ink consistency must also be

adjusted to the correct viscosity with the appropriate thinner(solvent), depending on the print image. You will find theauxiliaries perfectly matched to our pad printing inks in our
portfolio.

technologies for your future

In recent decades, pad printing has undergone a transformation from the so-called "open" ink/doctoring system tothe closed, i.e. "hermetic", ink/doctoring system (invented
by TAMPOPRINT and first introduced to the global market in1983 with the "ENCODER" pad printing machine).
For some years now, there has been another technical revolution, the integrated printing cliché production within theprinting process, integrated into the standard pad printing
machine.
Today, the "hermetic" system and its use dominate themarket. Advantages for the user include:■ No health hazards such as solvent evaporation■ Constant ink consistency■ Cleanliness and time savings during ink changes■ Stable printing process■ No drying of the printing ink during downtimes■ Minimized waste during set-up■ Fast changeover of the pad printing machines
