During the 2016 ICMA EXPO, Sun Chemical will showcase its full range of offset inks, magnetic tapes, brand protection solutions and electronic materials for credit and laminated cards printing.
“Brand owners depend on plastic cards to be a key source of revenue and brand loyalty, but at the same time they are required to keep the consumer data stored in each card safe and protected from potential fraud,” said Brian Breidigan, VP and product manager for industrial applications, North American Inks, Sun Chemical. “Sun Chemical can meet all of those needs with a complete solution for credit and laminated card printing, from inks, coatings, magnetic tapes and adhesives, to anti-counterfeiting brand protection solutions and silver/graphite conductive inks for the growing EMV market.”
Visitors will be introduced to Sun Chemical’s SunCarte family of screen and offset inks, adhesives and varnishes, which offer high bond strength and adherence to lamination while also providing consistent color reproduction. SunCarte can also be customized to deliver various metallic finishes.
The SunCarte product line includes UV screen inks offering a variety of finishing options for use on plastic cards. SunCarte UVPC Opaque White ink was designed to work on colored PVC core material, while SunCarte UVPC-Clear ink can be used to provide pearl, silver, gold and special effect color finishes. UVPC-Clear also offers adhesive properties as the ultra-thin cured ink film minimizes the buildup profile.
SunCarte also includes an Offset UV Plastic Card ink series designed exclusively for use on plastic cards. SunCarte Offset UV Plastic Card inks offer high bond strength, excellent printability and heat resistant colors.
Having supplied the financial sector globally with high quality magnetic tape for more than 40 years, Sun Chemical’s Advanced Materials division can provide card manufacturers with standard, color and printed magnetic tape options (based on DIC technology) which are aesthetically attractive with high durability and reliability.
Using its wide array of overt and covert brand-protection solutions, Sun Chemical can help governments and brands with strategy formulation, contingency planning, chain of custody framework and other components to ensure the integrity and security of ID cards.
Sun Chemical offers Verigard, an infrared coding solution that adds a small quantity of taggants to inks, varnishes or coatings for use in any print process on any substrate. Verigard taggants have no impact on print performance or color properties because they are added in extremely low concentrations and the system is useful because cards can be authenticated immediately by using Sun Chemical’s proprietary V400 reader.
Credit card companies are also increasing the security of their cards through EMV technology. Sun Chemical Advanced Materials offers a variety of electronic materials options, including printed antenna and metallizations for interconnect, as well as advanced materials, such as jetable nano-silver, palladium and gold to support the chip.
