AQUALUX

What's AQUALUX?

Eco-friendly, solvent-free

No solvent emissions or residue issues; free from halogens, heavy metals, plasticizers, and other hazardous substances.

Reduce Production Costs

Eliminates the need for baking, saving time and energy while reducing costs, simplifying processes, and shortening lead times.

Compliant with European and U.S. Regulations

Passed EU and U.S. RoHS and REACH testing.

AQUALUX® — a proprietary UV ink exclusively developed by DAIGIN Chemical

This technology is applied across various transfer processes and has obtained patents in the United States, Japan, China, and other countries._{(Note 1)}

Applicable to hydrographic, heat transfer, and other transfer processes.

Powered by AQUALUX® technology, Daqin Chemical suppliesUV transfer filmsIt can be used in a variety of materials, including plastic, glass, metal, wood, ceramics, etc.

This enables industries that traditionally rely onconventional hydrographicprocessing to significantly enhance product quality within a minimal-cost equipment environment, transforming flat patterns into realistic, texture-like surfaces.
The "print" of the product pattern has been transformed into a "printing" that is close to real.
