High-Durability Transparent Screen Printing Ink for Reflective Films & Traffic Signs
Manufacturing outdoor traffic signs and vehicle safety strips presents a unique challenge: the printed ink must not block the retroreflective properties of the substrate. Opaque inks will cover the microscopic prisms or glass beads within the reflective film, rendering the sign invisible to drivers at night. Additionally, these signs must survive years of relentless UV exposure, rain, and temperature fluctuations without fading or peeling.
Этот AC-200 Transparent Ink is the ultimate industrial solution for this demanding market. Formulated with optical-grade clarity, it perfectly preserves the film's natural retroreflectivity while delivering vibrant, high-gloss colors. As a user-friendly 1-component ink that can air-dry at room temperature, it easily accommodates massive highway signs that cannot fit into standard baking ovens. Backed by exceptional UV inhibitors, it guarantees over 5 years of pristine outdoor weather resistance.
Technical Specifications: AC-200 Transparent Ink
An industrial-grade, highly transparent formulation designed for maximum outdoor durability and optical performance.
- Uncompromised Reflectivity: High optical transparency ensures substrate microprisms reflect light perfectly, maintaining night-time safety compliance.
- Extreme Outdoor Durability: Engineered for severe weather; retains color vibrancy and resists peeling/fading for over 5 years outdoors.
- Versatile Processing: 1-component formulation allows for easy room-temperature drying, ideal for oversized sign manufacturing.

Часто задаваемые вопросы
How does this ink maintain the reflective properties of the traffic signs?
Standard opaque inks block the microprisms or glass beads embedded in reflective films, destroying their night-time visibility. The AC-200 is engineered with optical-grade transparency, allowing vehicle headlights to pass through the printed color layer and reflect brightly back to the driver, ensuring full compliance with road safety and municipal standards.
What is the expected outdoor lifespan of this ink?
Traffic signs and vehicle strips endure the harshest environmental conditions. The AC-200 features advanced UV inhibitors and heavy-duty weather-resistant resins, guaranteeing remarkable colorfastness and preventing cracking, chalking, or peeling for over 5 years in severe outdoor environments.
