| UV-HV8 | Adhesion Modifier | 4 % |
| UVV1 | Thinner | 1 - 10 % |
| UV-B4 | UV Accelerator | 1 - 2 % |
| UV-VM | Levelling Agent | 0 - 1 % |

Ink adjustment:
The ink should be stirred homogeneously before printing and if necessary during production.
LEDGL is a 2-component ink system. Prior to printing, it is essential to add adhesion modifier in the correct quantity and to stir homogeneously. When using adhesion modifier, the processing and curing temperature must not be lower than 15°C as irreversible damage can occur. Please also avoid high humidity for several hours after printing, as the adhesion modifier is sensitive to humidity.
Owing to the high reactivity of the ink, exposure to direct daylight and intense machine lighting should be minimised.
Pre-reaction time
It is recommended to allow the ink/hardener mixture to pre-react for 15 minutes.
Pot life
The ink/hardener mixture is chemically reactive and must be processed within 8 h (referred to 20-25 °C and 45-60 % RH). Higher temperatures reduce the pot life. If the mentioned times are exceeded, the ink's adhesion and resistance may be reduced even if the ink still seems processable.
Drying:
LEDGL is a very fast curing UV-LED ink.
LED Curing:
LEDGL requires a wavelength range of 385 - 395 nm for LED curing.
UV curing:
A UV-curing unit with one medium pressure Mercury Vapour Lamp (120- 180 W/cm) will cure the LEDGL standard shades at a belt speed of 4800 passes/h resp. 20 m/min. Primers and high-opaque shades take longer to cure (3600 passes/h, resp. 12 m/ min ca.).
The curing speed of the ink is generally dependant upon the kind of UV-LED-curing unit (reflectors), number, age, and power of the UV-lamps or LEDs, the distance between UV/LED lamps and substrate (distance from the substrate to the actual LED array, not including the housing!), the printed ink film thickness, colour shade, substrate in use, as well as the exposure time to the curing unit.
Ultra Glass LEDGL shows outstanding initial adhesion and is yet a post-curing ink which will achieve its final adhesion and resistances after 24 hours. The ink film should pass a cross-cut tape test right after being cured, or after having cooled down to room temperature.
As with all radical curable printing inks, the presence of residual monomers and photoinitiators' decomposition products cannot be completely ruled out even after sufficient curing. If these traces are relevant for the application, this must be taken into account in individual cases, as this depends on the actual printing and curing conditions.
Please make sure that waste prints are also completely cured, otherwise they are subject to the same disposal rules as liquid ink residues (hazardous waste).
Printing parameters:
All types of commercially available polyester fabrics and solvent-resistant stencils can be used. For a good opacity on coloured substrates, we recommend a fabric between 140-31 and 165-27 (plain weave).
