UV/LED Flexo Static Varnish (non-FPC and FPC) for Duo Labels
Description: A varnish designed for duo labels, offering static properties that enable the labels to remain attached temporarily to surfaces without adhesives. Available in FPC and non-FPC versions.
Use Case: Suitable for duo labels where a temporary static bond is needed before final application, commonly used in promotional or layered labels.
Laminating- and PS Adhesives
UV/LED Flexo UV Cold Foil Adhesive (slow/medium curing speed, non-FPC, FPC)
Description: A cold foil adhesive with UV curing properties, available in slow and medium curing speeds. This adhesive works with both Food Packaging Compliant (FPC) and non-FPC applications.
Use Case: Suitable for cold foiling applications where metallic foils are transferred onto labels or packaging to create premium, reflective designs.
UV/LED Flexo UV Laminating Adhesive (medium/high curing speed, non-FPC, FPC)
Description: A UV laminating adhesive available with medium to high curing speeds, designed for use in both Food Packaging Compliant (FPC) and standard applications.
Use Case: Commonly used in laminated labels and packaging, where layers are bonded together with UV-curable adhesives to increase durability and enhance aesthetics.
UV/LED Flexo PSA (Pressure Sensitive Adhesive) low/medium/high viscosity
Description: A versatile pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) designed for various viscosity requirements, available in low, medium, and high options. Suitable for UV and LED curing.
