UV ink can cause cancer? Detailed explanation of uv ink toxicity.The staff who have used

the uv flat-panel printer for a long time often smell the pungent and strong uv ink. They must

be worried about the harm of uv ink, and even more people feel that uv ink is carcinogenic,

causing greater panic. This concern is unnecessary. If you operate the uv flat-panel printer

routinely and use uv ink that has passed the test, it will certainly not cause cancer.

So why does uv ink have a pungent smell in the process of using the machine? The irritating

smell of uv ink is first caused by the slow emission of its raw materials under certain conditions;

Secondly, after uv ink curing, raw materials such as initiators and resins will be cracked to produce

aldehyde and sulfur irritating gases. If the reaction of some monomers or resins is incomplete,

there is unreacted "acrylic acid" component, which forms a pungent sour smell. In addition,

if the monomer is of low molecular weight and low boiling point, it may give off a foul smell

at room temperature, especially monofunctional monomers.
