High Viscosity UV Duct Coating for UAE Sheetfed Printers

High viscosity uv duct coating is a UV coating formulated to be applied through the ink duct of a sheetfed offset press. For many sheetfed printers the ink duct is the most practical way to apply a coating: it uses the press itself requires no separate coating unit.

Triwill Group supplies UV High Gloss Ink Duct through partners and distributors in the UAE and GCC, on a quote-led basis. Technical data sheets are available on request, with a technical and commercial study behind each recommendation.

Key Features

• Duct application: Formulated specifically for application through the ink duct of a sheetfed offset press, using the press itself as the coating unit.
• High viscosity formulation: A thicker consistency that feeds, transfers and levels correctly through the duct and roller train.
• High gloss finish: Gives printed work a bright, reflective gloss that enhances colour and gives a premium appearance.
• Surface protection: A cured UV film resists scuffing and handling damage, protecting print through finishing, transport and display.
• Instant UV cure: Cures under UV lamps, so coated sheets can move straight to finishing without a drying wait.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is high viscosity UV duct coating?

High viscosity UV duct coating is a UV coating formulated with a thicker consistency for application through the ink duct of a sheetfed offset press.

Why does a duct coating need high viscosity?

Because the ink duct and roller train require a coating that feeds, transfers and levels correctly through that system. A low-viscosity coating made for a dedicated coater would not behave the same way in a duct, and could give uneven application or insufficient film weight.

Can I use a duct coating in a dedicated coating unit?

It is not recommended to use grades interchangeably. Duct coatings and coating-unit coatings are formulated for different application methods, with different viscosities and flow properties.

What substrates can duct coating be used on?

Paper and board commonly used in sheetfed commercial and packaging print, with the specific grade matched to the substrate. Share your substrate, and we will confirm suitability.
