Formulation Technology Transfer for UV, EB Inks

Technology Transfer — Formulation (2D systems)

Formulation optimization and industrial implementation for solvent-based, water-based, UV / LED-UV and EB inks, coatings and adhesives — outside the scope of commercial 3D printing resins.

Choose the right page

This page is for application-driven formulation work when you already have a resin/binder platform.
If synthesis route development and polymer architecture are required, go to Resin Synthesis Consulting.
If synthesis + formulation must be engineered together, go to Synthesis + Formulation Technology Transfer.

What this service is

We help manufacturers turn formulation intent into stable industrial performance. The focus is application reality: mixing energy, stability, rheology, wetting, cure/drying capability, line speed, and QC reproducibility. This page is formulation-focused; polymer synthesis route development is addressed under Resin Synthesis Consulting.

Systems covered

Solvent-based and high-solids formulations
Water-based inks & coatings (including hybrid approaches, project-defined)
UV / LED-UV curing inks and coatings
Electron beam (EB) curing systems

Technology transfer areas & product lines

Our technology transfer services cover custom-designed formulations for:

Specialty technology transfer (examples)

UV coatings with non-odour and very low extractables
UV coatings with high scratch and abrasion resistance
UV coatings with long-term boiling-water resistance
UV rigid coatings with water and corrosion resistance
UV flexible coatings with water, thermal and electrical resistance
UV coatings with high thermal resistance
UV coatings with tea and coffee resistance
UV coatings with high Tg
UV and EB coatings for exterior durability
UV and EB inks and OPVs for indirect and direct food contact (application-dependent)
Water-based resin consulting for Graphic Arts (WB flexo inks, UV-WB inks and coatings)
Solvent/WB/UV systems for specialty applications: pre/post-metallisation coatings, primers and lacquers for beer and giftwrap labels, food wrappers, tobacco innerliners, and more

Typical objectives

Increase solids without viscosity instability
Improve adhesion, rub resistance, chemical resistance and blocking
Improve stability (storage, shear, temperature cycling)
Reduce odour / VOC constraints (project-defined)
Align cure/dry with equipment and line speed constraints
Define QC tests, acceptance criteria and critical control points

How we work

1) Assessment: targets, constraints, baseline, failure modes and test methods.
2) Roadmap: formulation options and validation plan aligned with your process.
3) Iteration: focused formulation cycles and acceptance testing.
4) Transfer: process window, QC checks, supplier options and documentation.

Confidentiality & IP

All projects are conducted under NDA. Intellectual property boundaries and technical deliverables are defined contractually prior to project initiation. 3Dresyns does not disclose proprietary third-party formulations, and no transfer of protected formulation architecture occurs beyond agreed project scope.

Engagement structure

Projects requiring rapid iteration cycles or structured knowledge handover are executed with an upfront engagement fee and milestone-based scope definition.
