Metalization:\u00a0\u00a0 for creating endless sustainable metalized decors.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Broadening our range of possibilities and daring to innovate to serve the ideas of designers with Topcoat and Base Coat UV varnishes !<\/strong><\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Everyone has heard about the unique \u201cmetallic mirror\u201d effect, vacuum metalization produced via sprayed aluminum.<\/p>\n

To create unique decors, Altus Coating\u2019s R&D laboratory<\/a> has been working on combining effects produced by physics with so-called material effects.
\nAll using a process that is much more environmentally friendly than other technologies, in the spirit of sustainable materials and finished products.
\n
\n<\/strong>As a result, the vast majority of luxury packaging objects will be enhanced by unique decors.<\/p>\n

Environmental issues are forcing manufacturers to find sustainable solutions for objects and packaging, all the while retaining what sets them apart.<\/p>\n

By texturing varnishes and preserving rich decors and textures, Altus Coating has developed unrivaled metallic effects.<\/p>\n

The technology behind UV varnishes is a major environmental positioning<\/a> which makes more sense than ever before. Compared with other processes, much less energy is used, since UV light generates an instant chemical reaction. Gone are long drying times!
\nAnd to streamline recycling, Altus Coating UV varnishes also make up for less than 5% of the total packaging weight.<\/p>\n

Altus Coating processes used in metalization<\/strong><\/h3>\n

By developing base coats and topcoats, Altus Coating varnishes<\/a> contribute to going beyond the minimalism of metalization.<\/p>\n

Endless colorless base coats for smoothing substrate surfaces are no longer needed.\u00a0 On the contrary, they require depth and texture for sprayed metal colors to shine.<\/p>\n

So many unique, specific, unalterable colors can be created by spraying alloys and metals in different environments. There are remarkable yellows, golds, greens, reds, magentas, blues, or turquoises to be discovered.
\nAll these original colors are designed to last over time.<\/p>\n

Beyond a mere optical effect, protective coating creates a soft, silky finish.<\/p>\n

With the Alsafe solution<\/a>, the finishing coat can also include antibacterial protection.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All substrates can be metalized: BioPlastic, glass, wood, metal, elastomer, or leather, bearing in mind that each material is unique and will require specific care.<\/p>\n

Substrates must be primed using a base coat UV varnish before they are ready for a fine metallic layer.<\/p>\n

Altus Coating formulates UV varnishes ranging from the most flexible to the hardest, for perfect substrate binding. It involves an alchemy between polymers and materials.<\/p>\n

Please note that some highly flexible materials can be a real challenge when they undergo compression, extension, or twisting.<\/p>\n
