Primer for UV inkjet printing

N-Bond Inkjet Primer

In the year 2014 Nanovations has introduced an innovative and groundbreaking adhesion promotion technology called N-Bond for inkjet printing on glass, metal, and plastic. This technology allows for the effective bonding of organic inks and paint to these surfaces, making it a game-changer in the flatbed inkjet printing industry for UV cured inks. The N-Bond technology is in the nanoscale and therefore significant thinner than conventional primer systems, resulting in quick curing, invisible, and highly cost-effective adhesion promotion.

N-Bond offers a rapid drying time, allowing for printing within just 5 – 10 minutes after the application. Unlike traditional methods, N-Bond chemically reacts with the glass or ceramic etc. substrate, creating molecular bonding points for the organic inks to adhere to.

With N-Bond, most standard UV inks can be utilized for printing on various surfaces such as glass, acrylic, Plexiglas, ceramic, and select metals. Integrating N-Bond into the surface preparation process is a simple task. This innovative solution was developed in collaboration with prominent product suppliers in the glass and printing industries. applications.

cross-cut-test

N-Bond creates durable and outstanding results with 0 % flaking on glass printed with standard UV- ink . These tests are easy repeatable with a simple cross cut test. Tested also with a 2 hour boiling water test and glass break test, (adhesion on break zone test) and 24 hour cold water immersion test. ASTM D870 “Standard Practice for Testing Water Resistance of Coatings.
The application can be done high speed application machines like roller coater in production lines or special spray coating machines. Or for smaller areas with simple methods like spray and wipe on. Pretty much any wet low volume coating application method can be used or modified to be suitable.

The exceptional strength and bonding efficiency of  Nanovations N-Bond inkjet primer is a result of extensive testing with market leading companies like Canon Production Printing, Roland , Agfa and others.  long lasting ink layers and quality and performance.

The true nanoscale coating thickness requires only a very small volume of N-Bond primer a square meter . This unique feature positions Nanovations N-Bond  as the most cost effective inkjet primer option available. It has surpassed all other products in the market in cost / sq. ft /m2. Nanovations is now a market leader with primer sold for the priming of over 12 million square meter surfaces.
