Frequently Asked Questions

What are water based coatings used for in commercial printing?

Water based coatings in commercial printing are applied via the coating unit on offset presses to provide surface protection, gloss enhancement, and functional properties to printed packaging and commercial print materials. Triwill Group’s water based coating range covers food safe, ultra high gloss, double-sided, and economical formulations for every commercial printing application.

What are the environmental benefits of water based coatings for commercial printing?

Water based coatings have significantly lower VOC emissions than solvent-based coating alternatives, making them a more environmentally responsible choice for commercial printing. They support compliance with VOC emission regulations and contribute to more sustainable pressroom chemistry. Triwill Group’s water based coatings offer these environmental benefits alongside high-quality coating performance.

How do water based coatings differ from UV coatings in commercial printing?

Water based coatings dry through water evaporation using infrared and hot air drying systems on the offset press coating unit, while UV coatings cure instantly under UV lamps. UV coatings typically offer higher gloss levels and better rub resistance, while water based coatings provide a more environmentally responsible option with lower energy curing costs in some applications. Triwill Group supplies both types.

What are food safe water based coatings used for in packaging?

Food safe water based coatings are used on commercial packaging for food products to provide surface protection and gloss while meeting food contact material safety requirements. Triwill Group supplies TWGW6025 food safe gloss coating and TWGW6055 food packaging gloss coating specifically formulated for food contact packaging applications.
