UV coating is a clear compound that is applied to paper wet, then instantly dried by ultraviolet light. Numerous types of compounds are used to coat paper; these compounds are refined and mixed with viscosifiers that help them adhere to paper. A UV coating machine is used to apply the coating after printing. UV coatings can vary in reflectivity and thickness, depending on the application, though a high-gloss or subtle matte UV coating are typically used for premium printing applications. Furthermore, UV coatings has several advantages over other coating methods such as aqueous coating or varnish. They include:
• Very high shine finish
• Good abrasion resistance
• High clarity
• Environmentally friendly
• Instantaneous drying time with UV light exposure
UV Coatings Market Outlook
Increasing electronics industry around the world is anticipated to propel the global UV coatings market. Furthermore, growing environmental consciousness driving the demand for green products, growth in demand for industrial wood coatings are also some of the major factors driving the UV coatings market globally.
