Aqueous Coating Benefits
Aqueous Coating | Water-Based Protective Finish
Aqueous coating provides a protective, eco-friendly finish that resists scuffs and fingerprints while enhancing print vibrancy. Available in gloss, matte, or satin.
Protection That is Planet-Friendly
Aqueous coating uses water-based formulas that provide excellent surface protection while being more environmentally friendly than solvent-based alternatives. The coating dries quickly, resists scuffing, and enhances print appearance.
Versatile Sheen Options
Aqueous coatings are available in gloss, satin, and matte finishes, allowing you to achieve desired appearance while adding protection. The coating can be applied flood (full coverage) or spot (selective areas).
Cost-Effective Quality
Aqueous coating is typically less expensive than lamination while providing good protection for many applications. It is an excellent choice for high-volume printing where budget and environmental impact are considerations.
