Low-viscosity, high-gloss UV coatings designed for gravure application on pouch and pan masala work.

Overview

Gravure-applied UV overprint varnish

Gravure application demands a lower viscosity than roller coating, because the coating has to release cleanly from the engraved cells at speed. Our gravure UV grades are formulated at medium to low viscosity while holding gloss above 90 GU.

Because of the low viscosity and high hardness, the coatings reach the required result at low coat weight with good gloss retention.
