Like any decorated products, direct sunlight will cause sublimated products to fade over time. Factors that affect fading are temperature and weather - for example an area with more direct sunlight and dry, arid conditions will probably contribute to faster fading. With that being said, the ArTainium2UV+ inks are specially designed for longer UV resistance.

Permanent, non-fading inks are inks that resist fading and discoloration that accompany most printed media. With proper framing and placement, these inks should last a lifetime.

It depends on your application. If you desire a wider color gamut, dye-based inks are preferable but do not last as long as UV. UV ink images tend to be less crisp looking, however these inks do not fade as fast as dye, and when used with the appropriate media they also offer water resistance.

After more than two decades of field exposure in different climatic conditions, samples collected of EPDM membrane show no evidence of crazing or cracking. As a result of the excellent UV resistance, EPDM membrane can be warranted up to 30 years.

No. That is why, after application of Dr. Fixit Torchshield, all non-foot-traffic areas should be finished with aluminium paint for UV protection

UV radiation is commonly used in germicidal lights in hoods and is a component of sunlight. UV radiation will have a serious deleterious effect on most plastics, especially the polyolefins, including polyethylene (low-density polyethylene [LDPE] or high-density polyethylene [HDPE]); polypropylene (PP), and polymethylpentene (PMP); and acrylics. Polystyrene (PS), polycarbonate (PC) and polyethylene terephthalate G copolymer (PETG) can withstand limited UV exposure.

No. You should always paint or cover foam that will be exposed to sunlight. UV rays will cause the foam to discolor and degrade. Touch 'n Seal Black Foam is UV-resistent and does not require painting to maintain it's integrity.

Yes, the formula includes a UV inhibitor. The product was formulated for the New Zealand market where the ozone layer is thin, allowing more UV through than we find here in the northern hemisphere.

Standard CDA cases are slightly UV-resistant. In additiona, they will protect your items by sealing them in hard acrylic to keep them in the same condition as when they were graded. They will not be touched by human hands and the hard acrylic prevents it from sustaining any additional creases, bubble dings, or other damage. In addition, 99% UV-Resistant acrylic cases are available for additional light protection.

A No. None of the color preservatives act as a UV barrier. They are a barrier against the final finish changing the color of the threads, but have no anti UV characteristics. Tests have shown that the threads that are susceptible to UV deterioration-blues and reds especially-actually deteriorate quicker when color preservers are used.

UV inks cures only by exposure to ultraviolet light - not evaporation ? and are 100% solid (solvent and water-based inks are approximately 50% solid and 50% solvent or water).

Ultra-Violet (UV) curable screen inks have different properties than water and solvent-based inks. Because 100 percent polymerization or cure cannot be achieved or guaranteed in the UV process, there is the possibility that untreated residual monomers, oligomers and photo initiators remain in and on the surface of the printed ink film and may migrate to the food product.

It's not recommended to switch continuously between dye sublimation inks and regular inks - most dye sublimation printers have a printer dedicated to sublimation printing. Notwithstanding, it is possible to switch between regular inks and sawgrass dye sublimation inks. When switching, it's important to perform cleaning maintenance between the ink changeover. Refer to your epson manual for cleaning procedures.

Most of the decals are not resistant to UV light. If UV resistance is required for the decal, you must state out this condition when you make the enquiry. The material and the ink for the decal will be different. And the cost of the decal will not be the same.

Most of the stickers are not resistant to UV light. If UV resistance is required for the sticker, you must state out this condition when you make the enquiry. The material and the ink for the sticker will be different. And the cost of the sticker will not be the same.

U.V. acts as a strong catalyst for the oxidations process which breaks down the polymer chains, leading weakness in the pipes & fittings and to loss of hydrostatic strength." Above effect is very much possible with materials like PP & PE. But for PVC main process is dehydrochlorination not Oxidation. This dehydrochlorination does not break down the polymer chains to any significant extent after outdoor exposure, being mainly limited to a surface discoloration effect only.

Sublijet digital transfer inks can be used on a wide range of substrates. Sublijet has the capacity to print onto any polyester coated surface that can withstand pressure of 40 psi and a temperature of approximately 400°F (220C). These substrates include fabric, wood, ceramic, carpets, metal, plastic, and more. approved Bulk Refill System is also available for the Epson 7600/9600, Epson 7800/9800 and Mimaki JV4.

Sublimations inks generally do not transfer well to darker type materials. Sublimation inks use dye to permeate the material and typically transfer better to lighter colored materials.

Ultraviolet (UV) light is at the invisible, violet end of the light spectrum. Even though we can't see UV light, we are exposed to UV rays from all light sources, including the sun.
