Continue ShoppingLOW CURE COATINGS
In the transition from solvent-based coatings to UV-based coatings, ACTEGA offers our customers (the can makers) an intermediate solution: Low cure coatings.
The low cure coatings for aerosol cans are internal coatings.
The current systems must be dried at temperatures of 250-270 °C. ACTEGA’s new low cure coatings make it possible to dry at a temperatures of 195-200 °C. The curing time of the aluminum tubes (5-6 minutes) stays the same.
The lower curing temperature required for these coatings (195-200 °C) compared to traditional systems (250-270 °C) can result in significant energy savings during the production process, by reducing the gas consumption and therefore minimizing CO2 emissions.
Aerosol cans are a popular packaging option for various industries, such as industry, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and more. ACTEGA understands the challenges of the industry when it comes to transition from solvent-based to UV-based coatings.
