DigiCoat UV Protect
Long standing problem with sublimation printing has been the issue of fading and loss of color vibrancy due to exposure to UV (Ultraviolet) light. Sublimation inks are made from dyes instead of pigments, and are prone to fade faster. This has generally limited the use of digitally decorated substrates in commercial design and architectural décor.
DigiCoat UV Protect is the first product designed for use in the sublimation transfer market to protect images from ultraviolet light fade. DigiCoat UV Protect contains two types of UV inhibitors which both absorb and deflect UV light, giving the maximum possible protection to sublimation inks.
In addition, DigiCoat UV Protect is also designed to be non-sublimatable, giving permanence to your sublimated image never before possible. While no product can ever completely eliminate colour fading due to the effects of ultraviolet light, DigiCoat UV Protect has had extensive comparison testing against uncoated sublimated tiles and the results provide a substantial improvement.
DigiCoat UV Protect is designed to work in conjunction with the DigiCoat line of coatings and is a simple to apply 1 part air curing coating.
UV Protect is an air drying product and does not require a curing cycle. The UV over coat can be used on glass, metals, wood, plastics etc.
