Roymal offers a wide variety of polyurethane based coatings and adhesives in our current portfolio. Our polyurethane chemistry is unique as a lot of our backbone polymers are custom made for the printing and graphic arts market. Our polyurethane chemistry fits into many end uses including topcoats (gloss & matte), primers and aqueous UV cure coatings. Polyurethane properties include flexibility with abrasion, chemical resistance, water resistance and print receptivity to a wide variety of inks including UV, digital and offset. We offer polyurethanes with alternate solvents like DMM (dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether) and NEP (n-ethyl pyrrolidone) for those applications concerned with using NMP (n-methyl pyrrolidone).

Featured Properties

• Flexibility (cold)

The uses of waterbased polyurethane coatings in the flexible packaging and graphic arts markets offers a broad spectrum of solutions and benefits. Polyurethane topcoats, overprints and primers can enhance a product’s appearance and lengthen its lifespan, making it a vital property in the manufacturing of films & product packaging. Custom formulated polyurethane coatings are common among industries like: Flexible Packaging, Industrial Graphics, and Paper Packaging.

Polyurethane Coatings Include Topcoats, Overprints and Varnishes

Roymal manufactures custom topcoat chemistries that deliver a variety of benefits to the film converting, printing and graphic arts industry. Polyurethane can enhance the aesthetics of a finished product, by adding a matte, gloss or soft feel finish. Polyurethane properties include flexibility with abrasion, chemical resistance, water resistance and print receptivity to a wide variety of inks including UV, digital and offset.

Polyurethane overprints are used to protect and lengthen the lifecycle of printed flexible packaging, making them resistant to harsh conditions. They are highly durable to prevent damage from UV, abrasion and exposure to various chemicals. They are conformable for ease of use and when printed on, as well as protect the image and maintain the integrity of the product over time. They are ideal for commercial applications that risk exposure to environmental elements including weather and temperature extremes.

Custom polyurethane coatings by Roymal, Inc. can be designed and manufactured to suit a variety of applications.
