Chemistry With Sustainability
Over 550 industrial coatings , Printing Inks and adhesives, developed and manufactured in India for packaging , automotive, wood, glass, plastics and composites.
Manufacturing industrial coatings in India
Arctic Materials develops and manufactures industrial coatings from a technical lab in Greater Noida and a structured production line built for batch-to-batch consistency. We design, test and refine every product in house, which is how we can modify a formulation to an individual customer’s substrate, line speed and finish.

Products
The range, by the industry it serves
Over 550 products in 26 categories, grouped into seven. Each category is developed against a substrate, a process and a service condition rather than supplied from a fixed catalogue.

Recent developments
Nine new ranges, eighty-one products
Nine categories were added to the range this year, taking Arctic into label and sleeve work, digital print priming, decorative effects, foil lidding and closure sealing. Six of them are shown here. Each was developed against a process our customers already run, and the diagrams set out the mechanism each range has to work with.
Arcfibre
Paper, Board and Corrugated Coatings
14 water-based coatings for fibre, including grease and moisture barriers that let a coated pack stay in the fibre recovery stream.
Arcweb
Label and Shrink Sleeve Coatings
12 narrow-web coatings across pressure-sensitive, wet-glue, shrink sleeve and in-mould work. Each format fails differently, so each needs a different film.
Arcvista
Decorative and Special Effect Coatings
12 effect coatings that put the decoration on the press instead of in a separate foiling or metallising pass.
Arcfoil
Aluminium Foil and Lidding Lacquers
11 roll-coated lacquers for foil: heat seal, controlled peel, retort-resistant protective and pharmaceutical blister lidding.
Arcveil
Scratch-Off, Security and Coding Coatings
Six coatings that conceal, reveal or authenticate, including a scratch-off system supplied as a matched release undercoat and opaque layer.
Arcseam
Can-End and Seam Sealing Compounds
Five water-based gasket compounds lined into the curl of a can end. Not a coating: this is what makes the double seam hermetic.
Sustainability
Plans to protect air and water come first
We are committed to developing and implementing plans that safeguard these resources. Prioritising sustainable practice is how we reduce the environmental impact of what we make.
Discover. Innovate. Manufacture.
Adaptability and continuous innovation decide whether a coating still performs on next year’s line. Our lab develops, tests and refines formulations so each batch leaves with the same properties as the last.
Reimagine the surface..
High performance coatings that protect the premium products we use every day.
From passive barrier to smart coating
Coatings are starting to sense damage, respond to it and repair themselves. We track twenty developments across the industry and are building proprietary products on ten of them — three of the most advanced are below.
Self-healing
Coatings that close their own cracks — microcapsules and nanocontainers for single-event repair, dynamic covalent networks for repeated healing.
Self-reporting
A film that signals corrosion as it initiates, turning scheduled inspection into a visual check and releasing inhibitor at the damage site.
PFAS replacement
Fluorine-free water and oil repellency through sol-gel, polyurethane hybrid and bio-based hydrophobe chemistry, ahead of the regulatory deadline.
