Printing Techniques
RBC Products develops varnishes, coatings, inks and additives compatible with a wide range of industrial printing and application techniques. Each printing process has specific requirements in terms of viscosity, curing behavior, adhesion and surface performance. Our formulations are designed to integrate seamlessly into these processes while ensuring consistent quality and reliable production.
By understanding the technical demands of each printing method, we help printers and manufacturers select the right coating or varnish system for their equipment, substrates and end applications.
Flexographic Printing
Flexographic printing is widely used for packaging, labels and industrial print applications. It requires coatings and varnishes with controlled viscosity, fast curing and excellent transfer properties.
RBC Products offers varnishes and inks optimised for flexographic printing, providing smooth laydown, consistent coverage and reliable curing on UV, LED UV and EB systems. These solutions are suitable for both low migration and non-low migration applications, depending on regulatory requirements.
Screen Printing
Screen printing is used where high coating thickness, durability or special effects are required. This technique demands coatings with good flow, high build capability and stable curing behavior.
Our screen printing solutions support applications such as decorative finishes, functional layers and specialty effects. They are designed to cure evenly and maintain surface performance across different substrates and production speeds.
Gravure Printing
Gravure printing is a high-precision process commonly used for large-volume and high-quality print applications. It requires coatings with excellent transfer characteristics and consistent behavior at high speeds.
RBC Products supplies gravure-compatible varnishes and coatings that deliver uniform layers, strong adhesion and stable curing. These systems are suitable for packaging, decorative and industrial applications where surface quality and repeatability are critical.
Wet Offset and Dry Offset Printing
Wet and dry offset printing are widely used for high-quality graphic applications and packaging. These processes require coatings that balance print quality, resistance and curing performance.
Our offset-compatible varnishes provide good leveling, clarity and abrasion resistance while supporting fast curing on UV and LED UV systems. They are designed to integrate smoothly into existing offset workflows.
Spray Application
Spray application is used for complex shapes, uneven surfaces or flexible production environments. Coatings for spray application must offer stable atomisation, controlled viscosity and reliable curing.
RBC Products develops sprayable varnishes and coatings that support consistent application, strong adhesion and durable surface performance across industrial and decorative applications.
Additives
Additives play a crucial role in fine-tuning coating and ink performance. RBC Products offers additives that improve flow, slip, adhesion, curing behavior and surface properties.
These additives allow manufacturers to adapt coatings to specific substrates, printing methods or environmental conditions without compromising overall system stability.
Digital Printing
Digital printing continues to grow in industrial and graphic applications due to its flexibility and short-run capabilities. Coatings used in digital printing must be compatible with digital inks and provide fast curing and surface protection.
RBC Products supplies varnishes and coatings suitable for digital print environments, supporting consistent finishing quality, protection and visual enhancement.
