rinting Compatibility of Electrochemical Aluminum Vacuum Bottle Sand Rolling Process


I. Surface Characteristics of Electrochemical Aluminum and Printing Compatibility Basis
The Electrochemical Aluminum Vacuum Bottle Sand Rolling Process of electrochemical aluminum material lays a physical foundation for its excellent printing performance. At the microscopic level, the surface of specially treated electrochemical aluminum presents a uniformly distributed concave-convex structure, and this microscopic texture provides an ideal anchoring point for ink adhesion. The free energy of the material surface is precisely controlled to make it compatible with a variety of ink systems such as water-based and solvent-based, showing a rare printing tolerance.

From the perspective of chemical properties, the electronic structure of the electrochemical aluminum surface coating is specially designed to form a stable chemical bond with the active groups in common printing inks. This bond not only enhances the durability of the printed image, but also effectively prevents the diffusion of ink and ensures the sharpness of the printed edge. It is worth noting that the chemical inertness of the electrochemical aluminum surface enables it to withstand most chemical reactions in the printing process, avoiding harmful reactions between the material and the ink.

The mechanical properties of electrochemical aluminum are also conducive to the implementation of the printing process. The moderate rigidity of the material avoids deformation caused by printing pressure and ensures the accuracy of overprinting; the uniform elastic modulus ensures the uniformity of pressure distribution on the entire printing surface. These characteristics enable electroplated aluminum to maintain stable printing quality under high-speed printing conditions, providing reliable guarantee for large-scale production.

2. The regulation mechanism of printing performance by sand rolling process
Sand rolling treatment achieves precise regulation of printing performance by changing the microscopic morphology of the surface of electroplated aluminum. Appropriate surface roughening increases the contact area between ink and substrate, forming more mechanical interlocking structures at the microscopic level. This structure greatly improves the adhesion of ink, allowing the printed pattern to withstand a more stringent use environment. Studies have found that the specific directional texture formed by sand rolling can also guide the flow of ink and effectively control the phenomenon of dot enlargement.

There is a nonlinear relationship between sand rolling intensity and printability. Mild sand rolling treatment can significantly improve ink wettability, but excessive treatment will lead to a decrease in surface energy. The ideal sand rolling intensity should form enough active sites while maintaining appropriate surface flatness. The treated surface in this balanced state can ensure good spreading of ink and maintain high resolution of the printed pattern.

The sand rolling process has a particularly significant improvement on the effect of special printing. In metal ink printing, a moderately rough surface can enhance the diffuse reflection of light and produce richer color levels; in the local UV process, the surface treated with sand rolling makes the varnish form a more uniform film layer, which enhances the three-dimensional tactile effect. These special printing performances make the electrochemical aluminum vacuum bottle treated with sand rolling more visually impactful on the shelf.

3. Synergistic optimization of printing process and sand rolling treatment
The coordination of offset printing and sand rolling treatment requires special attention to pressure control. The surface treated with sand rolling needs to increase the printing pressure moderately to ensure sufficient transfer of ink, but excessive pressure may cause the sand grain structure to be flattened. The ideal coordination solution is to use a rubber roller with moderate hardness and a precise pressure adjustment system to ensure ink transfer while protecting the surface texture.

Screen printing shows unique advantages on the sand rolling treated surface. The moderate gap between the screen and the rough surface forms an ideal ink release condition, which is particularly suitable for thick ink layer printing. The surface treated with sand tumbling can effectively suppress the edge jagged phenomenon common in screen printing, making the pattern outline clearer. This combined process is particularly suitable for high-end packaging products that need to highlight the texture.

The combination of digital printing technology and sand tumbling represents the direction of development. The surface energy requirements of inkjet printing are highly matched with the characteristics formed by sand tumbling, and the adhesion strength of UV-curable ink on rough surfaces is significantly better than that on smooth surfaces. The combination of this plateless printing method and sand tumbling provides a perfect solution for small-batch, multi-variety customized production.

4. The correlation between printing durability and sand tumbling process
Sand tumbling improves printing durability in many aspects. Mechanical durability tests show that printed samples that have been moderately sand tumbling show better wear resistance in friction tests. This is because the mechanical interlocking structure formed by the rough surface effectively disperses external stress and prevents the overall peeling of the ink layer.

In terms of chemical durability, the surface printing layer after sand tumbling shows stronger solvent resistance. The physical barrier formed by the microscopic rough structure slows down the penetration of chemicals and provides additional protection for the ink layer. This property allows the product to withstand common cleaning agents and maintain a new look for a long time.

Environmental tolerance tests show that tumbling helps alleviate cracking of the printed layer caused by temperature changes. The surface texture provides a stress buffer space for the ink layer, avoiding str
