Coating Additives

The function of a coating additive is to provide a value added feature; a bright uniform/smooth surface, enhance printing and imaging performance.

  • Enhance metering and application                                      
  • Improve water retention
  • Reduce/eliminate whiskering and scratches                        
  • Improve leveling
  • Minimize film split patterning                                                
  • Enhance gloss development
  • Improve smoothness and printability                                  
  • Reduce dusting and extend slitter life
  • Increase fold crack resistance                                             
  • Improve wet/dry pick resistance                                      
  • Influence the coefficient of friction
  • Improved runnability                                                           
  • Lower scratching, weeping & wiskering
  • Anti-picking/anti-sticking                                                    
  • Reduced dusting
  • Foam control
