Growth of UV-cured resins in the production of 3D printing

The continuous advancements in the field of 3D printing have led to an increased use of UV-curable resins in window graphics, banners, billboards, indoor signage, posters, and more. 3D systems, being a primary pioneer, produce a range of technologies including fused deposition modeling (FDM), selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography, and multijet printing (MJP).

“Recent activities include the application of 3D systems for patents regarding radiation-curable compositions. These compositions find applications in systems that are used for image projection. The compositions are both UV- and liquid-curable, and are ideal for the production of solid 3D articles in free-form and solid systems,” says Hitesh Bhatia, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on paints, coatings, and polymers.

Fluctuation of the price of crude oil

The resins used for the production of ink are epoxy, acrylic, polyester, and alkyd resins. These resins are manufactured from petrochemicals that are used in printing inks. The price of petrochemicals is dependent on the price of crude oil, as petrochemicals are byproducts of crude oil. The fluctuating price of crude oil has severely affected the price of the raw materials, affecting the cost of the production of resins.

“With the fluctuation of prices in the crude oil market, the manufacturing cost of resins will fluctuate, having a direct impact on the price of resins in the global market. The change in the oil prices has compelled vendors, operating in the market, to implement various strategies to save cost and other implications,” adds Hitesh.

Positive impacts of new technologies on the industry

Currently, the ink resins market is witnessing growth due to the impact of new technologies. Companies such as Ricoh have developed an inkjet ink based on aqueous resins, which exhibit excellent safety, color reproducibility, and jetting-reliability. Aqueous resin ink is a type of heat-fusing ink that is used in the printing of various uncoated base materials, although it is water-based.

The inkjet based on aqueous resins adopts the technology of water-based ink, which is mainly diffused in household inkjet printers. It is safe for human beings because of the use of water-based inks in the inkjet. Solvent-based inks have been used in the plastic industry, which is labeled as hazardous on the Globally Harmonized System (GHS). However, the use of water-based inks is safer than that of solvent-based inkjets.
