Frequently Asked Questions
What are speciality coatings?
Speciality coatings are coatings formulated for specific functional applications beyond standard gloss or matt finishing. They deliver targeted performance such as barrier protection, heat resistance, blister pack compatibility, or special visual effects like drip-off.
What speciality coatings does TriWill supply?
TriWill Group supplies drip off primer smooth (TWGO1120), drip off primer coarse (TWGO1125), playing card coating (TWGW1110), blister coating (TWGW1120), barrier coating (TWGW1125), grease barrier coating (TWGW1130), and heat resistant coating (TWGW1190).
What is a drip-off primer?
A drip-off primer is a matt primer used to create a matt/gloss contrast effect. It is printed in selected areas, then a gloss coating is applied that repels from the primed areas (staying matt) but remains glossy elsewhere, creating a striking contrast.
What is a barrier coating?
A barrier coating provides a functional barrier against grease, moisture, or other substances, protecting the packaged product or preventing penetration through the packaging. TriWill offers barrier and grease barrier coatings for packaging applications.
Are speciality coatings water-based?
Yes. TriWill speciality coatings are water-based, offering environmentally responsible functional coating performance with lower VOC emissions than solvent-based alternatives.
