Products

Uniform Industries formulates and manufactures printing inks and coatings at Greater Noida, India, for printers and converters here and in export markets. The portfolio is organised into fourteen categories. Between them they cover three ways of forming a film — photoinitiated polymerisation under UV or LED lamps, evaporation of water, and evaporation of solvent — plus coatings and effect inks specified for what the finished surface has to do rather than for how it is printed. Raw materials are selected under the EuPIA Charter and pigments are heavy-metal-free. TPO is excluded across the range, being reprotoxic 1B under CLP 2025 and on the EuPIA exclusion list; low-migration grades use polymeric and multifunctional acylphosphine photoinitiators, and food-contact grades exclude ITX and benzophenone as well. Where the application calls for it, products are formulated against Regulation (EC) 1935/2004, Regulation (EU) 10/2011, the Swiss Ordinance, the German positive lists, REACH, RoHS, the EU PPWR and Nestlé Guidance. Every product carries a Technical Data Sheet, a Safety Data Sheet and a Regulatory Summary.

Navigate by process, because you already know your press. The first eleven categories are named after the printing process and the curing or drying system that goes with it: pick the one that matches the machine in your hall, then choose within it by substrate and end use. The last three group products by what the film has to do rather than how it is laid down, so start there when the specification begins with a surface property — a seal, a barrier, a slip value, an effect, a part to protect — instead of with an image. Where two categories could serve, the curing system usually settles it. UV and LED inks are 100 % solids, carry no solvent and need no drying tunnel, but LED at 385 to 405 nm cures from the substrate up, so the surface cures last and is oxygen-inhibited, while mercury lamps cure from the surface down. Water based and solvent based inks instead need drying capacity, air volume and, for solvent, extraction. Tell us the substrate, the press, the lamp or dryer and the end use, and we will point you to the grade and send the data sheets.
