Product Performance |
Water-Based UV Varnish |
Conventional products |
Oil UV Varnish |
Old Water-Based Varnish |
Laminating |
Environmental Protection |
By the SGS testing and animal toxicity testing. Can almost reach the edible level |
Contain highly toxic toluene. With TP, TM, and other carcinogenic substances |
Ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (reproductive toxicity) |
Glues are highly toxic, |
paper can not be recycled. |
Odor |
Crude oil can only smell a bit of alcohol, but the coated paper completely odor-free. |
Crude oil has strong odor, the coating paper has a very strong initiator and toluene odor |
The smell of ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (reproductive toxicity), and ammonia odor |
Strong smell of glue (toluene) |
Glossiness |
Up to 98,most of the region can almost reach 90 |
10 less than water based UV Varnish for everage |
40-50 |
Can reach more than 90 |
Abrasion Resistance |
Four pounds pressure conditions,500 times |
Four pounds pressure conditions, Around 100 times |
Lower than the oil UV Varnish |
Well |
Toughness |
The coating will not crack or peel off at the folding place |
Crack, peel off |
Not peel off |
At the folded place, film will peeled off from the paper |
- fold test |
Adhesion |
With adhesive tape on paper, the coating will not peel from the paper. |
Normally will peel |
Usually will peel,a little better than oil |
Good |
- the tape test |
Water Permeability |

Impermeable |
Permeate Immediately |
Impermeable |
Levelling Property |
Can reach the laminating effect |
Can see pigskin grain with naked eye |
Slightly better than the oil |
Good |
Curing Speed |
Energy density: 8mj/cm2 (Levelling channel is not less than 2 meters) |
The same as Water Based UV Varnish |
