1. Hot Melt Adhesives – Coating Methods Hot melt adhesives are 100% solids, require heating to melt, and solidify upon cooling. They are solvent‑free and cure quickly, making them ideal for high‑speed production. Roll Coating How it works: Molten adhesive is transferred to the substrate via a heated gravure or applicator roll. Coating thickness is controlled by the roll’s surface pattern. Applicat...

Varnishing (Gloss Varnish / Matte Varnish) The primary difference between gloss varnish and matte varnish lies in their level of brightness. Varnishing involves applying a layer of clear lacquer over the printed surface to provide waterproofing, scratch resistance, and a high-gloss effect. It offers superior abrasion resistance and stain resistance, effectively preventing the surface ink from bein...
