VIC Series
The VIC series is a family of two-part reaction urethane inks that dry faster than standard systems, offering exceptional adhesion, moisture resistance, and solvent durability. Suitable for treated PP, PE, and coated substrates such as ABS, acrylic, and PVC.

- Reaction with metallic pigments (especially gold) can cause premature gelation; avoid such combinations.
- Store mixed inks in a cool, dry place and avoid moisture exposure.
