Key Features & Benefits

FeatureBenefit
Inherently matte finish without the need for additional matting agentsDelivers a consistent matte appearance while reducing the use of organic or inorganic matting agents, helping lower formulation costs.
Excellent transparency, even on black substratesPreserves the visibility of the underlying substrate color, making it ideal for dark-colored printed packaging designs.
Soft, smooth film with no surface tackProduces a non-sticky surface that allows coated materials to be stacked without blocking.
Compatible with polyisocyanates, melamine resins, polyaziridines, and carbodiimidesSuitable for both 1K and 2K coating systems, providing greater formulation flexibility.
Waterborne and solvent-freeLow VOC content, making it more environmentally friendly and safer for operators.
