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.

Microlith Jet
Microlith K
BASFs 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.

Microlith Jet
Microlith Magenta 4500 J and Microlith Yellow 1061 J
are the rst in a series of innovative, high performance
pigment preparations developed specically for solvent-
borne and especially UV ink jet applications. Similarly to
customary Microlith K, Microlith J types excel by their
small particle size and narrow size distribution, which is
guaranteed by our specialized manufacturing process.
Accurate particle size control allows maximum color
strength and transparency as well as excellent dispersion
stability. Microlith J types display high pigment load and
can be easily incorporated in solventborne or acrylate-

Photoinitiators for energy curing
Darocur

, 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
benets include excellent solubility in acrylate monomers,
low yellowing, and low odor/low migration properties.

Irgastab

in-can stabilizer
Irganox

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 efcient 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 stabilizers
Tinuvin

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 ltering 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.
