The MDO Base System for Impact Extruded Metal Containers and INXCure PrintPro process colours for flat-sheet metal decorating, are designed for the mono-bloc and flat-sheet markets. In addition to curing with short dwell times, customers can expect improved transfer and scratch resistance with MDO Base System thermoset impact extruded metal decorating inks. The inks are available in eight base colours in addition to various secondary and permanent colours.
Intended for use on crowns, screw caps, closures, 2-piece DRD cans, welded aerosols and decorative tin applications, INXCure PrintPro process colours are formulated for “outstanding printability” with improved misting and fast cure response. The UV-Curable inks offer excellent fabrication and flexibility and are compatible with a wide range of exterior coatings, including cationic UV chemistries. They’re available in a substantial number of base, secondary and permanent colours.
“Our commitment to metal decorating is second to none,” said Rick Clendenning, President and CEO of INX International Ink Company. “Our R&D capabilities are outstanding and customers are quick to tell me how our team helps keep them ahead of the competition with products that make a big difference. We opened a new facility a year ago in England devoted to metal decorating production, and the state-of-the-art equipment we installed is playing a major role in our success at exceeding customer expectations.”
