Other formulations allow for application of film laminates, hot foil stamping and laser imprinting.

Q2000 Series – Gloss Single-Sided Coatings

The Q2000 series are designed for folding carton and other single-sided applications. This series has been developed to provide excellent hold out when applied to CCNB, SBS and other types of folding carton stock. Formulations are available for specific slide angle requirements and specific rub- and scuff-resistance levels.

Q3000 Series – Single-Sided & Work and Turn Primer Coatings

Some formulations within the Q3000 series are specifically designed for single-sided primer applications and others are designed for work-and-turn primer applications. When compared to standard products, these coatings form a film that has an enhanced ability to accept UV coatings, film laminates, oil-based varnishes, or aqueous coatings.

Q4000 Series – Matte Coatings

Within this group of matte coatings is the new “Streakless System.” Utilizing unique raw materials, this group of matte coatings has unmatched leveling qualities that eliminate film imperfections and streaking. All of the coatings in this series are pencil-receptive.

Q5000 Series – Satin Coatings

With a gloss level higher than the Q4000 matte series, the Q5000 satin series has a group of coatings that also utilize the new “Streakless System.”

Q6000 Series – Specialty Aqueous Coatings

Q7000 Series – Heatset Web and Flexography Coatings

This series of coatings is specifically designed for in-line coating on heatset web and flexo presses. Within this series are gloss, matte and satin coatings, all designed to produce even, fast drying film formation over a wide variety of inks and substrates. Specific products in this series are designed to control rub, slide angle and chemical resistance.

Q8000 Series – Ink Train Coatings

The Q8000 series of coatings are designed for in-line application of coating through the ink train of the last printing unit.
