Pigments for solvent-based and UV curable ink jet inksCinquasia®, Cromophtal®, Heliogen®, Irgalite®, Irgazin®, and Paliotol®
Coloristic performance is a key parameter when selecting a pigment for solvent and energy curable ink formulations. Although other factors should be taken into account, our high performance organic pigments have been found to be particularly suitable for use in solvent and energy curable digital inks. These pigments combine outstanding tinctorial properties with excellent rheology in acrylate systems and offer outstanding resistance to light, weather, heat, chemicals, and solvents.
Although this list represents the primary selections, BASF offers additional colorants, which cover a wide range of chemical types, shades, and fastness performance. For a complete list, please contact your BASF representative.

Pigment preparations for solvent-based and UV curable ink jet inksMicrolith® K Microlith Jet
Microlith KBASF’s Microlith K pigment preparations are state-of-the-art pigment preparations (high performance pigments pre-dispersed in a vinyl copolymer) that are widely used in solvent-based ink jet inks for wide-format indoor and outdoor graphics. Their small particle size and extremely narrow particle size distribution, obtained by our specialized milling technology, affords maximum
color strength and transparency as well as outstanding dispersion stability.
Microlith K pigment preparations are easily incorporated into standard ink jet ink solvents like ketones, glycol ethers, or glycol ether esters (or blends thereof) by means of a dissolver or other high-speed mixers without the need for milling.

Photoinitiators for energy curingDarocur®, Irgacure®, and Lucirin®
The photoinitiator is a key component of an energy curable formulation, as it largely determines the spectral sensitivity and cure response of the system. BASF offers a broad range of highly effective photoinitiators for energy curable inks and overprint varnishes. Energy
curable inks and overprint varnishes provide excellent spectral sensitivity and the highest cure speed even at high pigment loadings at a low energy dose. Additional benefits include excellent solubility in acrylate monomers, low yellowing, and low odor/low migration properties.

AdditivesIrgastab® in-can stabilizerIrganox® antioxidant
Energy curable formulations containing acrylate reactive diluents and oligomers, photoinitiators, and pigments are sensitive to early polymerization during storage. This is particularly true for highly reactive systems based on multifunctional acrylates, as used in printing applications. Therefore, the addition of an efficient stabilizer, such as Irgastab UV 22, against premature polymerization is
necessary to provide long-term stability of the energy curable ink formulation during its life cycle.
In addition, the antioxidant Irganox 1520 L can be added directly into the ink formulation to protect the colorant and binder against photo-oxidation, which will also help increase the lifetime of the digitally printed image.

UV absorbers and hindered amine light stabilizersTinuvin®
Digitally printed signs and graphics are sometimes over-lacquered with an overprint varnish to improve the weatherability. BASF offers a broad selection of UV absorbers that can easily be incorporated into water-based, solvent-based, or energy curable overprint varnish formulations. Due to broad spectral coverage and very high extinction, our UV absorbers provide excellent performance and photostability by filtering harmful UV light and protecting the underlying image against fading.
In addition, the overprint varnish itself can be protected against light degradation (cracking, loss of gloss, delamination, etc.) by the addition of hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS) in coating formulations. Alternatively, they can be added directly into the ink formulation to help protect the colorant and binder against photo-oxidation, which will also increase the lifetime of the digitally printed image.
