Meet us at LUXE PACK 2022 in Monaco and discover our new solutions to reduce the impact of brand packaging and our nomination for the Luxe Pack Green award.

Until Wednesday, October 5, the Altus Coating team, the creator of UV varnishes, UV lacquers and tints (technical, specific, aesthetic, ethical solutions to dress the material) has the pleasure to welcome you on its stand at Luxe Pack Monaco.

The Research & Development laboratory at Altus Coating has decided to present its latest developments in varnish solutions at Luxe Pack Monaco, and particularly bio-sourced products that:

Enhance recyclable materials: glass, obviously, which in the limelight in 2022, but also wood and aluminum,
Save vast amounts of energy for production, solvents, Volatile Organic Compounds,
Do not prevent up-cycling and thus promote the circular economy.

These products and solutions comply with at least one of the following criteria of the “Environmental Approach” charter:
• contain no more than 10% volatile organic compounds
• contain at least 10% bio-sourced substances
• can be dried under LED lamps.

The innovations presented at Luxe Pack 2022

For glass, with a multitude of finishes and properties (gloss, matt, colorless, opaque, “frosted”, unbreakable glass and metallic finishes):

The ALCOAT range of single coat water-based thermal drying solutions: the reticulation process means substantial savings in terms of energy consumption.
The ALCURE and ALLUX ranges propose highly innovative solvent-based UV solutions applied directly to the glass with no solvent-based adhesion primer: this eliminates the need for an oven and its huge energy requirements, while also limiting VOC emissions.
New water-based solutions still under development will soon be offering a phenomenal reduction in energy requirements to meet even more stringent criteria.

For wood

A solvent-based UV solution that does not penetrate the substrate and considerably reduces the amount of product required and VOC emissions, combined with UV reticulation to limit energy consumption and preserve the substrate.

For aluminum

A water-based thermal solution like that developed for glass.
A solvent-based UV solution offering the same advantages as for glass, as well as the resistance properties required for the various stages of substrate shaping.

In addition to their latest innovation, which responds to the ever-present challenges of health and safety: ALSAFE, a unique microbial compound,
