Heat resistant coatings

Waterbased coatings protect the printing ink against abrasion and guarantee problem-free converting. TerraWet heat resistant coatings can do even more; they protect the printed product in processes where large levels of heat arise.

Two types of heat development can be distinguished in this case. In the converting process from a printed product to the final packaging, the printed product is exposed to direct contact with a hot tool. For example, in case of crimped yogurt sleeves, rear sides of blister cards, soft cheese packaging, tobacco round boxes or boxes with folding lids for small cigars. Without the protection of the heat resistant coating the ink could smear. The packaging is damaged and the sealing tool is polluted. Heat resistant coatings from ACTEGA Terra guarantee trouble-free further processing.

The second possibility of heat action exists in an oven or a microwave in case of food packaging, which is heated up in the preparation of the product for example. Typical applications are menu trays or microwave packaging. Heat resistant coatings are formulated so that they do not release any volatile materials or emit odors, even at high temperatures. An impairment of preparation and consumption is avoided by the right heat resistant coating.
