Actega Kelstar introduces 100% UV Soft Touch Coating

New Jersey-based Actega Kelstar, a market leader in the innovation of specialty coatings and chemicals, has introduced its newest product – 100% UV Soft Touch. The newest addition to its specialty coatings portfolio has several unique features.
UV Soft Touch is a 100% UV-curable one-part system – not a hybrid or two-part system, and requires only UV lamps to cure. It offers improved quality control management because its manufacturing process produces higher product yields with none of the leftover material typically seen in two-part systems. It uses less energy because there is no IR/air required as with hybrid soft-touch systems. Finally, compared with other current aqueous or UV soft touch coatings in the marketplace, it offers excellent resistance to scuffing and abrasion to the elements that’s a common issue in the packaging and printing industry.
Actega Kelstar is a leading manufacturer of Specialty Coatings & Chemicals for the graphic arts industry, and is one of the largest suppliers of coatings in North America. The company provides technical support and has multiple warehouses strategically located throughout Canada and the U.S. to ensure fast delivery.
