Bonding to silicone rubber can be a challenge. The low surface energy and high flexibility of the substrate requires inks designed specifically for coating silicone. NOVAGARD® Silicones offer a unique solution with UV-cured technology that provides the enhanced performance characteristics of conventional two-component silicone based inks with processing speeds unmatched by other technologies. Available in a standard color palette with custom color formulating capabilities these products are the perfect combination for screen printing on wristbands, swim caps, touch-pads or for marking silicone rubber parts that are molded, calendared or extruded.
