Overview

Coatings for the narrow-web press

UniCure coatings show very low curling on low-grammage printed substrates. At the recommended 3–3.5 g/m² they provide good scuff resistance, excellent chemical resistance, good water resistance and very high gloss.

They are common products for coated paper, metallised paper, holographic paper and foil paper, and are suitable for roller coater, gravure cylinder and anilox coating systems. With proper curing the coatings show excellent block resistance and fast cure rate, with low odour and low migration versions available.

Cross-section of a narrow-web UV coating station: roller, gravure and anilox varnish application, a 3 to 3.5 g/m2 film and a UV lamp curing the coated web.
