5. Solvent‑based Ink Safe Operation Guidelines & VOC Data
VOC Parameter
- VOC content: 7.2‑9.5 % (tested according to GB 38507‑2020)
- Certification: RoHS, EN71‑3, total lead test, MSDS available for download
Safe Operation Guidance
- Ventilation: Keep strong local exhaust ventilation inside printing workshop; avoid long‑term inhalation of solvent vapor.
- Personal Protection: Wear nitrile chemical‑resistant gloves; chemical safety goggles recommended for operation; wear impermeable work clothes.
- Skin & Eye Contact: If contact with skin, wash thoroughly with soap & clean water; if splashed into eyes, flush large amount of clean water and seek medical help.
- Fire‑safety: Keep away from flame, spark and high‑heat sources. No smoking in operation zone.
- Waste disposal: Waste ink & contaminated rags shall be treated as hazardous chemical waste, follow local environmental regulation.
- Mixing warning: Do not arbitrarily mix with other brand ink or unknown solvent, may trigger gelling & performance failure.
Full safety data please refer to MSDS document.

7. FAQ Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is MOQ? A: Minimum order quantity is 1 kg for test sample. Bulk production order starting from 25 kg. Small test sample is available for press trial.
Q2: What is delivery lead‑time? A: Stock items: ship within 3 working days after payment confirmed. Custom color / OEM private‑label goods: 14‑18 working days.
Q3: What customization service do you provide? A: Custom fluorescent strength adjustment, special light‑fastness grade tuning, OEM private label sticker & custom carton packing; special color matching for packaging projects is acceptable.
Q4: Logistics & shipping for solvent‑based ink? A: Ink belongs to chemical liquid goods. International courier options: FedEx, TNT, DHL, UPS, EMS. Large‑volume bulk order can choose sea freight or air freight. Payment terms: T/T, Western Union, Paypal.
Q5: After UV curing, printed film still feels sticky? A: Check points: UV lamp aging, printing speed too fast, insufficient curing energy, excessive ink film thickness. Increase UV lamp power or reduce printing speed. Allow sufficient post‑curing standing time.
Q6: Poor adhesion on plastic film? A: Confirm substrate surface tension ≥38 dyne/cm. PE / PP film must receive corona pretreatment. Apply matching primer if adhesion still fails.
Q7: Can I mix this solvent‑based UV ink with common water‑based or oil‑based offset ink? A: Not recommended. Different resin systems may cause gelling, precipitation, unstable curing and color deviation. Run small lab test if mixing is unavoidable.
