Frequently Asked Questions

What is low migration UV flexo ink?

Low migration UV flexo ink is a UV-curable flexographic ink formulated with restricted raw materials to minimise the migration of ink components (particularly photoinitiators) through packaging into the food or product. It is essential for food and pharmaceutical packaging labels.

Why is low migration important for UV inks?

UV inks contain photoinitiators that can migrate through packaging into food products if not fully cured or if unsuitable raw materials are used. Low migration UV inks like TWG-FXU-LMI use restricted photoinitiators to minimise this food safety risk.

Is TWG-FXU-LMI suitable for direct food contact?

TWG-FXU-LMI is formulated for food-contact-adjacent packaging where migration compliance is required. Contact TriWill Group for compliance documentation specific to your application.

Does proper curing affect migration performance?

Yes. Low migration performance depends on complete UV curing as well as ink formulation. TriWill Group provides guidance on curing requirements to ensure migration compliance with TWG-FXU-LMI.
