Q1: What is the key technical challenge this coating addresses in post-print finishing?
A: It solves the issue of coating fracture ("cracking" or "breaking") that occurs when rigid UV films are subjected to folding, creasing, or die-cutting stress. This coating's flexible yet tough polymer network withstands mechanical deformation without losing adhesion or surface integrity.

Q2: On which substrates and applications is anti-cracking performance most critical?
A: It is essential for pre-scored paperboard, intricate cartons, label stocks, and synthetic materials used in luxury packaging, cosmetic boxes, promotional items, and industrial labels—especially where deep embossing, sharp folds, or repeated flexing are required.

Q3: Does the flexibility of this coating affect its curing speed or final hardness?
A: While formulated for enhanced flexibility, it maintains fast curing under standard UV lamps and achieves a balance of hardness and elasticity. The cured film offers strong scratch and abrasion resistance, but remains pliable enough to resist cracking under dynamic stress. Process testing is recommended to optimize curing parameters.
