Q1: What is the primary function of this coating in the foil stamping process?
A: It serves as a precision adhesive layer that is screen-printed onto the substrate, then cured via UV to create a tack-free, receptive surface. During hot foil stamping, heat reactivates this layer, allowing the foil to bond only to the printed areas, resulting in sharp, high-fidelity metallic or pigmented designs.

Q2: What are the key advantages of using a UV-curable coating for foil adhesion?
A: UV curing provides instant drying and precise pattern control, eliminating solvent evaporation or absorption issues. It ensures excellent dimensional stability for fine details, offers strong chemical and abrasion resistance, and enables high production speeds with minimal waste compared to traditional adhesive methods.

Q3: Which substrates and applications are most suitable for this coating?
A: It is ideal for coated papers, synthetic films, plastics, and specialty boards used in luxury packaging, cosmetics labels, high-end publications, and promotional items. It performs best on smooth surfaces where fine detail and adhesion are critical. Pretesting is recommended for porous or low-energy substrates.
