Use of high reactive raw materials

A very important fact about WESSCO® Low Migration Coatings is the use of high molecular weight and/or polymerizable photoinitiators. Thus, these are much less likely to migrate into the packaged food. In addition, coatings build on higher acrylic monomers for a strong crosslinking. They do not contain benzophenone, 4-methylbenzophenone or bisphenol A intentionally. This makes WESSCO® Low Migration Coatings the perfect choice when it comes to enhancing and protecting sensitive food packaging.
