Testimonial

"We inspect every order carefully, especially our UV-printed glass growlers. UV ink normally won’t adhere to low-energy glass—but after pretreating with the new FieroSil™ system, the difference was night and day. The ink bonded perfectly. I scratched at it myself — it's bulletproof."

Pretreatment

Engineered for flawless adhesion and lasting print quality across plastics, glass, metal, and composites.

FieroSil™ uses HMDSO vapor deposition to apply a microscopic silica layer that dramatically increases surface energy. This ensures inks bond permanently, eliminating smudging, peeling, and print failures common with untreated low-energy surfaces.

Ideal for UV inkjet, pad printing, screen printing, and hybrid production workflows.

Designed for seamless integration with high-speed automated lines and cylindrical printers.
