Dear Sir or Madam, Lehrte, November 2008

Both idealism and persistence are important for developing innovations. To place them on the market also requires enthusiasm and patience. Often innovations are not taken seriously at the beginning of their life cycle. Sometimes they need years until they become accepted. The reason: They are ahead of their time.

 

We also thought that TerraGreen is the coating for the future. However, we are convinced that its time is here, now. TerraGreen has become available at just the right time.

TerraGreen wins Innovation Award 2008

TerraGreen wins the German Printing Industry Innovation Awards 2008. We are proud that our new product line based on renewable resources was able to leave the strong competition behind and win the first prize in the category technology printing. For this, we would like to thank the readers of the "Deutscher Drucker" and the other participating magazines.

 

Frank Kamphuis, Head of R&D and Technical Service, gladly received the prize at the PrintNight in Frankfurt, Germany on the 9th of October. He was visibly enthusiastic about this success: "At the beginning of the development nobody could imagine that we were creating a completely new coating type. But now we have introduced a product with excellent characteristics and stable running capabilities."

Coatings for hot foil stamping

An eye-catching finish is hot foil stamping. By means of pressure and heat, foils are applied to a printed and coated substrate. Whether you use foils with a metallic or with a holographic effect, the coating needs to ensure a good adhesion.

 

The new waterbased TerraWet Gloss Coating G 9/522 is especially suitable for hot foil stamping. It dries fast and is characterised by a high scratch and scuff resistance. The good rub resistance provides fast and efficient processing. By the way: The TerraWet Gloss Coating G 9/522 is also suitable for the coating of cigarette packaging. It corresponds to the high requirements of international brand owners.

 

Your advantage: Highest safety for your further processing. Stamp on us!

 

Running faster - the new premium coating for flexo printing

In the Formula 1 you need precision, speed and technical know-how. But at what point of time an automobile goes through the finish line, also depends on tires and petrol.

 

In the flexo printing we face a similar situation: Choosing the most adequate consumables, as the coating, provides speed in the production process. With the new TerraFlex-F High Gloss Coating G 11/222 you achieve optimum gloss and very high machine speeds at the same time. The coating is heat resistant, wet block resistant and is characterised by a fast drying. It is applied in preprint and postprint. 

 

Your advantage: High gloss and a fast processing. Enhance your efficiency and focus on the winner among the flexo coatings.
