IST METZ - Model FREEcure -Photoinitiator-Free UV Curing System
The FREEcure UV curing system by IST METZ represents a significant advancement in the field of UV printing and curing technology. By eliminating the need for photoinitiators, FREEcure leverages high-energy UVC light for the direct cleavage of double bonds, which is particularly beneficial for GMP applications. This innovative technology allows the formulation of lacquers and pigment coatings without photoinitiators, reducing the number of lamps necessary for dose-intensive activities and ultimately promoting environmental sustainability. Moreover, FREEcure excels in packaging printing applications and in industries such as wood and wood-based materials by delivering a reduced emission interior and enhanced surface scratch resistance. The system supports the partial or full replacement of traditional ESH systems, helping to eliminate coatings that release formaldehyde. With fewer UV units required, it also offers energy savings and lower operational costs, while enhancing drying performance by over 70% using the BLK technology basis.Discover the future of UV curing with FREEcure – the groundbreaking innovation heralding the next quantum leap in UV printing. This revolutionary technology sets new standards by allowing lacquers and pigment coatings to be formulated without photoinitiators or even in a photoinitiator-free manner.
What makes FREEcure so unique?
The high-energy UVC light, exclusively available in the market, enables the direct cleavage of double bonds without the need for photoinitiators. Particularly for GMP applications, this system establishes new benchmarks – all without requiring inertization in a normal atmosphere.
Experience a dramatic reduction in the number of lamps needed for dose-intensive applications and be inspired by a future that demands fewer photoinitiators. FREEcure redefines the possibilities of UV curing, paving the way for a more efficient, environmentally friendly tomorrow.
Experience the benefits of our pioneering UV curing technology with FREEcure - completely without photoinitiators. FREEcure revolutionises UV printing and is therefore ideal for packaging printing applications, especially for food. In the wood and wood-based materials industry, FREEcure also ensures reduced interior emissions and a particularly scratch-resistant surface thanks to close cross-linking.
A special plus: FREEcure enables the partial or complete replacement of conventional ESH systems and therefore also the elimination of acid-curing, formaldehyde-releasing coatings. This allows you to combine performance with environmentally friendly coatings.
Freecure not only offers ecological benefits, but also saves energy as fewer UV units are required. This not only lowers energy consumption, but also reduces the need for spare parts and thus brings cost benefits for your company.
