UV Varnishes
Our range of UV coatings for packaging provides customers with various performance characteristics, including reactivity, gloss, scratch resistance, chemical resistance, flexibility, viscosity, and machinability. These products are crafted from carefully chosen raw materials to enhance safety of use and minimize yellowing tendencies. By utilizing 100% solids in all our UV coatings, we effectively reduce VOCs and ensure complete utilization of products. We also offer tailor-made solutions upon request, supported by our in-house UV coating and curing equipment and our experienced R&D team, contributing to our goal of providing sustainable packaging solutions.
Categorization by Aesthetic Finish:
Gloss UV Varnish: This type delivers a highly reflective, ultra-shiny mirror finish that deepens color contrast and enhances the vibrancy of graphics.
Matte UV Varnish: This option eliminates reflections, offering a non-glare, muted, and sophisticated appearance while minimizing fingerprint smudges on frequently handled materials.
Satin Varnish: Providing a semi-gloss finish, satin adds subtle depth without the overpowering shine of high-gloss, making it a versatile choice for various applications.
Additionally, our water-based barrier coatings serve as an eco-friendly solution for packaging needs, further supporting sustainable practices.
Water Based Barrier Coatings For Sustainable Food Packaging
Water Based Barrier Coatings for Sustainable Food Packaging
As global food packaging converters increasingly focus on sustainable packaging solutions, our range of water-based barrier coatings and barrier-coated papers offers a forward-thinking answer, providing reliable protection against moisture, oil, grease, and heat. This makes them particularly suitable for food service applications, including paper cups, plates, pouches, containers, and wrapping papers. Our products not only deliver functional performance comparable to traditional paper but also align with global sustainability goals by being PFAS-free, plastic-free, and compostable. Additionally, our innovative UV coatings for packaging enhance these benefits.
Features:
- Heat sealable & non-sealable
- Excellent moisture barrier
- Solvent free
- Food contact safe
Water repellent for paper
Barrier coatings play a crucial role in restricting the flow of oil, grease, water, oxygen, or moisture through various materials, providing enhanced protection. This control of flow is particularly valuable in many applications, especially within the realm of sustainable packaging solutions. These coatings are utilized in a range of packaging materials, including those for food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and liquids. For example, the coating on a paper cup must be safe for direct food contact, effectively retain fluids, and possess the sealability required to form paper cups as a sustainable alternative to polyethylene. Likewise, single-use plastic packaging should effectively keep oxygen out, ensuring the safety of the food stored within. We offer a diverse selection of FDA and EU regulation approved products, including innovative water-based barrier coatings, designed to create packaging that prioritizes safety and quality while safeguarding consumer health. Our solutions help establish barrier properties in paper and paperboard and can replace traditional materials such as polyethylene, fluorochemicals, or waxes in food packaging, including paper cups, plates, and wrapping paper. Notably, we also provide UV coatings for packaging applications. All products are ready to use, with adjustable viscosity tailored to suit specific applications.
