Applicable Working Conditions: Plastic printing fields requiring high-strength lamination, including food packaging, daily chemical packaging, and industrial packaging

Core Demands & Pain Points:

  • Plastic substrates have low surface energy, resulting in poor adhesion of traditional inks
  • Insufficient lamination strength, prone to delamination
  • Unqualified water resistance and chemical resistance, compromising packaging performance
  • Rising environmental protection requirements call for water-based eco-friendly solutions
  • Unstable performance under harsh working conditions such as high-temperature cooking

II. Core Technical Solution

1. Applicable Substrates: Various plastic films including PET, BOPP, PE, CPP, NY and more

2. Coating Resin System: PU2018 water-based polyurethane resin with excellent film-forming performance and bonding force

3. Curing & Baking Condition:60-80℃

4. Key Properties:

  • Flexibility: Excellent flexibility, resistant to cracking after repeated bending
  • Adhesion: Super adhesion to various plastic substrates, reaching 5B level in cross-cut test
  • Abrasion Resistance: Outstanding abrasion resistance, Taber abrasion weight loss ≤0.02g
  • Water Resistance: Superior boiling resistance, no abnormality after 2 hours of boiling at 100℃
