Q
What is the cost of the coating material? How does it differ from traditional coatings?
A
The cost of these coating materials varies depending on factors such as material type, performance requirements, and production scale. Generally speaking, the cost of water-based plastic substitute oil is relatively low because its main solvent is water and the production process is relatively simple. UV molded aluminum-plated varnish and 172nm excimer coatings may have higher initial investment and production costs due to the need for special photocuring equipment and raw materials, but due to their superior performance, they have a high cost-effectiveness in high-end packaging applications. Photoresist and other film surface coatings are usually high-performance coatings with relatively high costs, especially some photoresists used in high-end optical or electronic fields, which are relatively expensive. Compared with traditional coatings, water-based plastic substitute oil, UV molded aluminum-plated varnish and 172nm excimer coatings have advantages in environmental protection performance and production efficiency. Although the cost of some materials may be higher, in the long run, due to reduced environmental protection costs and improved production efficiency, the overall cost may not be much higher than traditional coatings.
Q
Are these coating materials environmentally friendly?
A
Most of these coating materials have certain environmentally friendly characteristics. Water-based plastic substitute oil uses water as the main solvent, reducing the use of organic solvents and lowering the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it more friendly to the environment and human health. UV-cured aluminum plating varnish and 172nm excimer coatings use photocuring technology, with almost no solvent volatilization during curing, meeting environmental protection requirements. Photoresist and other film materials are also constantly developing towards environmental protection, using low-toxic and low-pollution raw materials and processes to reduce environmental impact. However, in practical applications, it is also necessary to consider the comprehensive environmental impact of coating materials throughout their entire life cycle, from production and use to disposal, to ensure that they comply with relevant environmental protection standards and regulations.
Q
How is the weather resistance of the coating material?
A
Different coating materials have different weather resistance. Generally speaking, UV-cured aluminum-plated varnish has good weather resistance, can resist the erosion of ultraviolet rays and water vapor, and is not easy to fade, yellow, or crack after long-term outdoor placement. It is suitable for various packaging exposed to different environments for a long time. The weather resistance of water-based plastic substitute oil is also constantly improving. By adding suitable auxiliaries and improving the formula, it can meet the packaging requirements of general indoor and outdoor environments. 172nm excimer coatings perform well in terms of weather resistance, and their cured films have high stability. However, photoresist and other film surface coatings used in high-end tobacco and alcohol packaging usually undergo special weather resistance treatment to ensure good appearance and performance during long-term storage and display.
Q
How is the adhesion of the coating material on different packaging?
A
These coating materials generally exhibit good adhesion to various packaging materials. Water-based substitute oil, through special formulation design, can form good chemical bonding and physical adsorption with the surfaces of various packaging materials, showing good adhesion on various materials such as NIKE product packaging. After UV curing, UV-embossed aluminum-plated varnish can form a strong film on the surface of the aluminum plating layer and other packaging materials, which is not easy to fall off. Due to its special curing mechanism, 172nm excimer coating can be closely combined with packaging materials. After proper surface treatment, photoresist and other film materials can also achieve reliable adhesion on packaging materials to meet the requirements of high-end tobacco and alcohol packaging for coating firmness.
Q
Are these coating materials harmful to human health?
A
These coating materials, when compliant with relevant safety standards, generally pose no significant health risks to humans. For example, water-based plastic substitute oil uses water as a solvent, has low volatile emissions, and is relatively more environmentally friendly than traditional oil-based paints. The film formed after curing of UV-cured aluminum-plated varnish is relatively stable and usually does not pose a health risk unless ingested directly or in prolonged skin contact. 172nm excimer coatings cure quickly and have no solvent volatilization, making them relatively safer. Photoresist and other film surface coatings do not release large amounts of harmful substances under normal use and handling conditions. However, if safety precautions are not taken during production or use, contact with high concentrations of coatings or their volatiles may irritate the respiratory tract and skin, so it is necessary to follow relevant safety operating procedures and take protective measures.
