Arcvista RF 410 Fine Structure Coating
A UV structure coating cured in two stages: a short wave source skins the surface, then the full cure shrinks the bulk beneath it and the film wrinkles into a fine, even texture. It is applied from a high volume anilox for all over textured fields and large background panels.

1. Product description
A UV structure coating cured in two stages, so that a short wave source skins the surface before the full cure shrinks the bulk beneath it and the film wrinkles into a fine, even texture. Because the texture is produced by the cure sequence and not by a filler, lamp type, power, distance and line speed are recorded as part of the specification alongside the applied weight. It is applied from a high volume anilox and suits all over textured fields and large background panels.
2. Features
- Fine, even wrinkle texture produced by the cure sequence, not by a filler
- Two-stage UV cure: short wave surface cure followed by full cure
- Lamp type, wavelength, power, distance, line speed and any inerting recorded with the applied weight
- Applied from a high volume anilox at 6 to 15 g/m² dry
3. Recommended uses
All over textured fields and large background panels on folding cartons, coated papers and laminated board where a tactile finish is wanted from an in-line coating.
Substrates. Coated folding boxboard, coated papers, laminated board and coated liners
4. Typical properties
| Property | Typical value | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Technology | UV curing structure coating with two-stage cure, effectively solvent free | Formulation |
| Appearance | Liquid coating; a fine, even wrinkle texture forms during the two-stage cure | Visual |
| Viscosity at 23 °C | 250 to 1,200 mPa·s | ISO 2884-1 (cone and plate) |
| Density at 20 °C | 1.00 to 1.15 g/cm³ | ISO 2811-1 |
| Non-volatile matter | 96 to 100 per cent, effectively solvent free | ASTM D5403 (volatile content of radiation curable materials, cured before heating) |
| Applied coat weight, dry | 6 to 15 g/m² | In-house, gravimetric |
| Texture | Assessed against the agreed standard at the recorded cure settings | Customer or supplier protocol |
| Adhesion of the cured film | No coating removal at a tape test on the uncut cured film | Tape test to customer or supplier protocol; cross-cut not applied, since ISO 2409 excludes textured coatings |
| Rub resistance, cured film | No transfer or loss of effect after 50 cycles at 2 lb (0.9 kg) load | ASTM D5264 |
Typical values, not a specification. Values for each batch are given on its Certificate of Analysis.
5. Application
| Parameter | Guidance |
|---|---|
| Application method | Flexo or coating unit with a high volume anilox |
| Dilution | Supplied ready for use; not diluted |
| Applied coat weight, dry | 6 to 15 g/m² |
| First cure stage | Short wave UV surface cure to skin the film |
| Second cure stage | Full UV cure through the film, which shrinks the bulk beneath the skin and forms the texture |
| Specification | Lamp type and wavelength, power, distance, line speed and, where the surface cure source needs it, nitrogen inerting are recorded with the applied weight; any change is re-trialled |
Process. Flexo or coating unit with a high volume anilox, two-stage UV cure, short wave surface cure followed by full cure
6. Storage and handling
Store in the original closed containers in a cool, dry place, protected from daylight, UV light sources, heat and frost. Shelf life is stated on the label and Certificate of Analysis. Handle and use the product in line with its Safety Data Sheet.
7. Safety and regulatory information
Read the Safety Data Sheet before use. Safety Data Sheets and regulatory declarations are issued by our technical centre against the product and batch supplied, so they are sent on request rather than published. Request a Safety Data Sheet or declaration.
