Q1: What is the primary function and key benefit of this varnish?
A: Its primary function is to maintain its structural integrity, adhesion, and optical clarity when exposed to elevated temperatures. The key benefit is preventing common issues like coating softening, blocking, gloss reduction, or yellowing during post-print thermal processes such as heat sealing, hot lamination, or in end-use environments like microwaveable packaging.

Q2: What are the main applications and recommended use cases for this product?
A: It is essential for packaging and labels that undergo heat sealing, are designed for hot-fill products, or are intended for microwaveable or ovenable use. It is also recommended for printed materials that will be subsequently laminated using heat-activated adhesives or that may be exposed to high ambient temperatures during storage or transportation.

Q3: How does the heat resistance affect its performance and application compared to a standard aqueous varnish?
A: While offering all the standard benefits of an aqueous varnish—such as high gloss, rub resistance, and eco-friendliness—its specialized formulation ensures these properties are preserved under thermal stress. Application parameters (coating weight, drying) are similar to standard varnishes, but achieving a fully cured film before thermal exposure is critical for optimal performance. It is always advised to conduct tests under specific process conditions.
