On request, we will also develop individual formulations with you to realise effects such as anti-graffiti, anti-scratch, light protection, special hardeners , adhesion promoters, colour concentrates or easy to clean properties. A team of experienced developers and application consultants is at your side to help you realise your product ideas.
Discontinuation of water-based SH lacquers
The market is applying pressure
For a long time, coating decorative papers with water-based, acid-hardening lacquers was the standard. Robust and inexpensive, but unfortunately with a flaw in terms of health protection due to formaldehyde emissions. Even if these were within the legal limits, the acceptance of such coatings is dwindling.
Major market players are therefore exerting pressure on the industry to switch technology.
Hesse UV lacquers and EBH lacquers for foil coating solve this problem and are therefore already in use by some of the relevant market players.
