Ultrachem supply a large and varied range of performance coatings used by the print and packaging industries. Ultrachem can service all your coating needs, from high gloss to full matt finishes, functional barrier coatings and products that display specific resistance performance.
COATINGS
Ultrachem supply a wide range of coatings all manufactured to the highest specifications.
The coatings fall into five main categories:
Water Based Emulsion Coatings
Water Miscible Duct Sealers
UV Curable Coatings
UV Curable Varnishes
Duct Emulsions
Ultrachem supply a range of water-based coatings, allmanufactured to the highest specifications using FDA approved raw materials and are approximately 50% water, giving superb printed results when applied via most anilox and 3-roll nip in-line dedicated coating units. They are dried by hot-air that must be exhausted efficiently away from the delivery end of the press.
Water-based coatings are available in a range of finishes from matt and satin, up to water white high gloss. They have the advantage of producing finishes that are fast drying, printed wet-on-wet over conventional O/S inks, producing an even finish over printed and non-printed areas without the risk of "crazing". The use of spray powder will be greatly reduced or even eliminated.
Ultrachem also supply a "fast" range of coatings which have been developed for the latest high speed presses printing on low grammage paper stocks. |

DRIERS
Cobalt Drier
Used in offset, letterpress, foil and tin printing to stimulate extra hard surface drying. This cuts down waiting time and allows work to be turned out more quickly.
Fount Additive Drier
When added to the fountain solution, this drier ensures faster ink drying on all paper stocks.
Manganese Drier
Improves the drying and thorough hardening of inks. Especially good with low absorbent substrates such as plastic foils. In addition can be used with metallic or fluorescent inks where gloss and brightness are maintained.
To complement this range of coatings Ultrachem also supply a high quality range of varnishes, additives and driers to assist the printer in achieving the optimum results every time.
VARNISHES
Matt Varnish
Achieves an excellent matt finish whilst giving high scuff resistance.
| 1 kg |
MATVAR-01 |
| 2.5 kg |
MATVAR.-025 |
High Gloss Varnish
Dries to an excellent high gloss whilst giving high scuff resistance.

SEALERS
Cover Seal
Acrylic sealer, water miscible, designed for easy application via the ink duct. Cover Seal provides excellent scuff and rub resistance whilst not changing the overall finish of the printed job.
Satin Seal
Acrylic sealer, water miscible, designed for easy application via the ink duct. Satin Seal provides excellent scuff and rub resistance and leaves the printed job with a satin finish.
