Sapphire® PN Series Pad Printing Ink
PN Series pad printing ink is a high-gloss specialty ink designed for printing on untreated polypropylene and offering excellent adhesion to most polypropylene-based substrates. The purer the substrate, the greater the adhesion without requiring pre-treatment. Additional applications include treated polypropylene, treated polyester, metal (do preventive tests), lacquered surfaces, and polyurethane.
