What Are UV DTF Stickers?
Three components make up UV DTF (Direct to Film) stickers, a high-tech customized decorative material: adhesive, AB film layer, and UV curing ink. UV irradiation rapidly cures UV-curing ink, creating a layer with excellent adhesion and durability to weather.
The easy peeling and fading of regular stickers is successfully resolved by UV DTF stickers, which are made for high-wear situations in contrast to traditional stickers. The AB film layer gives the sticker exceptional waterproof performance in addition to shielding the ink from outside corrosion.
Why UV DTF Dishwasher Safe?
UV DTF stickers’ superior material qualities and production advantages are primarily responsible for their ability to pass the dishwashing test.
- First off, UV curing ink can tolerate temperatures as high as 70 to 90°C, which just covers the normal water temperature of the dishwasher.
- Second, the UV DTF AB film layer completely encloses the UV ink, thereby preventing moisture infiltration and guaranteeing the UV DTF sticker’s waterproofness.
- Additionally, the unique adhesive ensures the UV DTF sticker’s adherence and high-temperature resistance by remaining stable at high temperatures and making it not easy to fall off.
- In addition, secondary UV curing can further improve the durability of the UV sticker, making it more tough and wear-resistant.
Which UV DTF Sticker Products are Suitable for Dishwasher Cleaning?
UV DTF stickers are widely used in the customization of tableware and kitchenware. However, it should be noted that items that are in contact with boiling water for a long time (such as the bottom of pots) and stickers made of improperly cured or low-quality materials may not be suitable.
