About FLYCOAT
FLYCOAT coatings are ammonia-neutralised acrylic and copolymer dispersions applied in-line on flexo and gravure presses. They protect prints, prepare surfaces for printing, seal packs and control release, and dry fast enough for in-line converting.
Typical properties of the range
| Property | Typical value | Method |
|---|---|---|
| pH at 20 °C | 8.0–9.0 | pH meter |
| Ammonia content | < 0.5 % as NH₃ | Titration |
| Minimum film-forming temperature | Below 15 °C (grade dependent) | MFFT bar |
| Density | 1.02–1.10 g/cm³ | Density cup |
Values for the FLYCOAT range; the certificate of analysis for CT-PR-F gives the release values.
How to use
- Application
- Flexo anilox 6–12 cm³/m² (OPV, primer), 15–25 cm³/m² (heat-seal); gravure 40–60 lines/cm
- Drying
- Hot air 60–80 °C; confirm full drying before rewinding or stacking
- Press stability
- Keep pH above 8 with dilute ammonia; do not mix with solvent-based products
- Clean-up
- Water, with a little ammonia; clean before the coating dries on rollers
Storage, packing and supply
- Storage
- 5–35 °C; protect from frost — freezing destroys the dispersion irreversibly
- Handling
- Stir gently before use; keep containers closed to prevent drying
- Shelf life
- 12 months from date of manufacture
- Packing
- 25 kg HDPE pails, 200 kg drums, 1,000 L IBC
