Application Examples Packaging and Labels In addition, to mold-resistant products, the combination of barrier properties with respect to both water and several chemicals along with writeability is being applied to a variety of products including ‘waterproof’ envelopes and secure medical labels. In addition, new label concepts combining barrier and adhesion features could eliminate the carrier films commonly used to create printed labels. Another concept in development provides a short-term protective barrier on biodegradable products such as disposable service-ware products. Also, the technology is expected to be useful for food packaging where reduction in water and air penetration could extend packaged shelf life. TABLE 3 | Black on steel (phosphate clean) 1.1 mil.

In addition, hard coat products are expected to have potential in protecting transparent (OLED) display surfaces. Finally, new technology is emerging for photovoltaic displays (PVD) based on amorphous silicon and printed electronics arrayed on flexible carriers. In both cases, there is a need for barrier coatings that are also compatible with the flexible protective layers contemplated on these PVD arrays. Metal and Plastic Combinations Since the formulations do not contain organic solvents and are cured without heat they can be applied to plastics without damaging the product. Consequently, products that are comprised of metal and plastic components can be coated and cured in the same operation. We know paint additives. Most importantly, we listen to what you need.
