The furniture industry decorates a large variety of materials with all kinds of different printing methods.
Substrates include plastic materials, flat glass, metal and wood whose optical appearance has to match the furniture. This is achieved by decoration with corresponding designs; preferred printing techniques are screen, pad and gravure printing.
It is important that these printed areas are protected, especially when it comes to printed plastic elements in kitchen fronts. These are coated with special UV-curing lacquers in gravure printing, which gives the necessary protection against usual chemicals that are for instance contained in cleaning and scouring agents. Here, too, RUCO boasts long-standing experience and offers a comprehensive range of inks and protective lacquers.

Some of our product highlights:

• Nanotechnology of the UV lacquer series guarantees superior scratch resistance on plastic elements.

• Series 935UV permits multi-colour inline printing and ensures excellent adhesion and resistance properties without thermal post-treatment.

• UV pad printing ink T90 was developed for decorating furniture strips in continuous printing.
