The technologies are acquired by way of an asset deal and include effect and overprint coatings curing under ultraviolet radiation and electron beam. MiraFoil coatings are recognised as an environmentally responsible alternative to foil board laminating and hot foil stamping while being equally brilliant to foil. They can be applied to precise areas, hence, reducing waste and shortening lead times. Miracure coatings provide a range of matte, gloss, satin and silicone coatings for conventional printing processes creating high quality visual appearance, such as glow-in-the-dark or dimensional texture.
“With the specialty coatings business of Henkel we are expanding our product portfolio by two highly innovative and sustainable product families. Hence, we will be able to offer our customers even better solutions that are tailor-made to their needs,” said Dr Roland Peter, President Division, ACTEGA Coatings & Sealants.
