Pushing the Limit of Aqueous Coatings
Packaging engineers, print designers and graphics art professionals are constantly creating new applications that push the limits of aqueous coating technology.
These higher performance applications require aqueous coatings that will perform under the most severe conditions. Roymal offers a wide variety
of aqueous UV curable coatings that are formulated to perform as primers and topcoats, our coatings offer excellent adhesion to films, are heat and chemical resistant and can be applied to paper, paperboard, foil and film products.
Application of Aqueous Ultraviolet (UV) Coatings
Commercial printers frequently send their jobs through using an inline UV curing equipment or an offline, “stand alone” UV curing unit. Aqueous (waterbased) UV cure coatings require the use of a thermal oven to remove the volatiles before the UV curing step. The UV curing step can also be accomplished in an offline UV cure unit as the aqueous UV coatings have non-blocking properties and can be rolled in reel form prior to UV cure. Aqueous UV primers and topcoats can be applied via rotogravure and meyer rod.
Roymal Inc. has formulated a select number of aqueous UV coatings that allow printers to take advantage of this unique technology for their variety of end applications, including ink receptive primers (can covalently cure with UV inks) and topcoats.
