What Is the Best Adhesion Promoter for UV Inks
- 2026-08-01 10:23:15
- admin
When UV ink comes off during a tape test, the primer is often blamed first. However, poor adhesion can also result from the film surface, contamination, incomplete primer drying or incorrect UV curing. Here, “adhesion promoter” refers to a primer applied before printing. No single grade is suitable for every plastic film. Choose the Primer by Substrate PET and BOPET films often benefit from a prim...

How to Choose the Right Water-Based Resin for Your Application
- 2026-08-05 17:59:28
- admin
Choosing a water-based resin should begin with the application, not with viscosity, solids content, or price. Products with similar technical data can behave very differently in production. A resin may work well on paper but show weak adhesion on plastic film. A coating may form properly under heated drying but remain tacky at room temperature. A low-viscosity polyurethane dispersion may look too ...

How to Choose a Waterborne Polyurethane Dispersion for Industrial Glove Coatings
- 2026-08-11 18:51:37
- admin
As global environmental regulations such as EU REACH and OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 become increasingly stringent, traditional solvent-based PU systems face growing restrictions in protective glove manufacturing. With advantages such as low VOC emissions and no DMFa residue, waterborne polyurethane (WPU) emulsions are rapidly becoming a key choice for glove manufacturers transitioning from solvent...

How to Diagnose Printing Defects on PP, PE and PET Films
- 2026-08-28 17:54:10
- admin
Printing problems on plastic film do not always come from the same part of the process. Ink may shrink immediately after transfer. A printed layer may look normal but fail a tape test after drying. Some problems only appear after water exposure, rubbing or when the press reaches normal production speed. During troubleshooting, it is useful to record when the defect first appears before changing se...

How to Reduce Pinholes in PTFE Coatings with PFA 001 Dispersion
- 2026-09-03 15:43:32
- admin
Poor surface smoothness, low gloss, and microscopic pinholes may occur during the spraying and baking of waterborne PTFE non-stick coatings. These defects can allow steam, fats, and corrosive substances to penetrate the coating over time, increasing the risk of blistering, peeling, and reduced non-stick performance. Why Pinholes May Form Pure PTFE has extremely high melt viscosity and limited flow...

What Is the Purpose of Varnishing in Printing
- 2026-09-10 17:57:39
- admin
Varnish is one of the “unsung heroes” of the printing process. Many people think it is only used to make paper look glossier, but it actually serves many other purposes. Simply put, applying varnish to a printed product is like giving it a functional outer layer. It protects the printed image while helping the product withstand friction, moisture, stains, and further processing. First, the Most Pr...

Why Does Exterior Acrylic Paint Leave Rain Streaks Even When It Feels Dry
- 2026-10-16 11:18:09
- admin
The wall feels dry, but after a light shower, visible streaks appear. Some areas may also look glossier than the surrounding surface. Does this mean the acrylic emulsion has poor water resistance, or could the additive package be contributing to the problem For exterior paint formulators, the starting point is to examine the formulation and drying conditions together. Why a Dry Surface May Still B...

Why PTFE Coatings Release Food but Adhere to Metal: The Role of Primer Resins
- 2026-10-30 11:18:53
- admin
A fried egg slides easily off a non-stick pan, yet the coating underneath remains attached to the metal through repeated heating and cooking. This raises an interesting question: if PTFE is known for its exceptionally low adhesion, how can it form part of a durable coating on cookware? The explanation lies in the difference between the surface that contacts food and the interface that bonds with t...
