Aqueous Coating
Aqueous coating is used to boost the appearance and longevity of printed materials. They are a clear and water-based protective layer that is formulated using cheaper raw materials. They are applied over printed materials and are of different types—gloss, dull, satin finish, and soft touch. They not just boost the appearance of printed materials but also give a smooth surface that boosts ink adhesion and avoids ink smudges, scuffs, and scratches. They can be recycled with ease and emit no byproducts.
Qualities of Aqueous Coating
Water-based coating is ideal for brochures, household products, food packaging, and menus—literally for all products that fold. They provide resistance to ultraviolet light, protecting prints from fading because of sunlight exposure. They are chosen as they are eco-friendly, and they emit fewer VOC, in contrast to solvent-based coatings.
