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)
