Products

Coatings, inks and sealants

Over 550 products across 26 categories, grouped below by the kind of work they do. A large part of the range was developed to a customer brief rather than taken from a catalogue, so if nothing here matches, describe the problem and our laboratory will formulate against it.

MAIN CATEGORY

Printing Inks and Print Finishing

Inks and the coatings applied at the press, covering wide-web gravure and flexo, narrow-web UV and LED-UV, digital print primers, decorative effects and functional coatings printed as part of the job.

New range

Printing Inks

Eighteen gravure and flexographic ink ranges for flexible packaging, in solvent-based, water-based and UV chemistry.

Narrow-Web UV and LED-UV Flexo Inks

UV and LED-UV flexo inks for the narrow-web label press, on a matched mixing scheme.

Digital Print Primers and Coatings

Primers that make a substrate printable digitally, and varnishes formulated to go over digital ink.

Decorative and Special Effect Coatings

Drip-off, metallic, pearlescent, structure, glitter and optical effect coatings.

Scratch-Off, Security and Coding Coatings

Scratch-off systems, thermochromic, security fluorescent, coding varnish and tamper-evident coatings.

MAIN CATEGORY

Packaging Coatings and Sealants

Coatings, lacquers and sealing compounds specified by the packaging converter, arranged by the material being converted: plastic film, fibre, label stock, aluminium foil and rigid metal.

Speciality Coatings for Packaging

Twenty-four overprint, tactile, slip, resistance, barrier and sealing coatings for flexible packaging and cartons.

Paper, Board and Corrugated Coatings

Water-based coatings for sheet-fed offset, corrugated preprint and postprint, and fibre-based food service.

Label and Shrink Sleeve Coatings

Varnishes and functional coatings for pressure-sensitive, wet-glue, shrink sleeve and in-mould labels.

Aluminium Foil and Lidding Lacquers

Heat-seal, easy-peel, retort and protective lacquers roll coated on aluminium foil and lidding.

Metal Packaging Coatings

Linings, basecoats and varnishes for food, beverage and aerosol cans, can ends and closures.

Can-End and Seam Sealing Compounds

Water-based compounds lined into the curl of a can end to make the double seam hermetic.

Closure Liner Compounds

Gasket compounds formed inside crown corks, twist-off caps and plastic closures.

MAIN CATEGORY

Vehicle and Mobile Equipment Coatings

Coatings for vehicles and mobile plant, from OEM component finishing and bodyshop repair to agricultural, construction and earthmoving equipment.

Automotive Coatings

Coatings for interior and exterior automotive plastic, trim and lighting components.

Automotive Refinish

Bodyshop repair coatings: primers, basecoat colour, 2K clearcoats and the mixing scheme behind them.

Agriculture, Construction and Earthmoving

Primer, intermediate and topcoat systems for off-highway machines built from welded steel.

MAIN CATEGORY

Industrial Product Finishing

Factory-applied finishes for manufactured goods in metal, plastic and wood, including appliance lines and coil and extrusion coating.

General Metal Finishing

Primers, topcoats and single-coat finishes for fabricated metal in small batches.

Appliance Coatings

Exterior, interior and high-temperature finishes for white goods and small appliances.

Coil and Extrusion Coatings

Primers, topcoats and backing coats for continuous coil lines, and liquid systems for aluminium extrusions.

Plastic and Decorative Coatings

Decorative and functional coatings for plastic, glass and cosmetic packaging.

Wood and Furniture Coatings

Lacquers, sealers, stains and UV systems for furniture, flooring and joinery.

MAIN CATEGORY

Protective and Infrastructure Coatings

Anticorrosive and protective systems for structural steel, process plant, infrastructure and marine assets.

Industrial and Infrastructure Coatings

Protective coatings for pipe, tube, composites and industrial flooring.

Protective and Marine Coatings

Tank linings, marine systems, intumescent fire protection and heavy-duty anti-corrosive coatings.

MAIN CATEGORY

Electrical, Electronics and Energy Coatings

Insulating, conductive and protective coatings for windings and electrical components, electronic assemblies and energy equipment.

Electrical Insulation and Wire Enamels

Wire enamels, impregnating resins, casting compounds and insulating varnishes for windings.

Energy and Electronics Coatings

Functional coatings for battery components, electronics and solar assemblies.

MAIN CATEGORY

Application Technologies: Powder and Electrocoat

Two application technologies rather than two markets, kept separate because powder and electrocoat are chosen by how the coating is applied and cured and are used across the markets listed above.

Powder Coatings

Thermosetting and thermoplastic powder for metal and, in low-cure chemistry, wood-based board.

Electrocoat

Waterborne e-coat deposited by immersion and current, reaching recesses spray cannot.
