Everyone has heard about the unique “metallic mirror” effect, vacuum metalization produced via sprayed aluminum.
To create unique decors, Altus Coating’s R&D laboratory has been working on combining effects produced by physics with so-called material effects.
All using a process that is much more environmentally friendly than other technologies, in the spirit of sustainable materials and finished products.
As a result, the vast majority of luxury packaging objects will be enhanced by unique decors.
Environmental issues are forcing manufacturers to find sustainable solutions for objects and packaging, all the while retaining what sets them apart.
By texturing varnishes and preserving rich decors and textures, Altus Coating has developed unrivaled metallic effects.
By developing base coats and topcoats, Altus Coating varnishes contribute to going beyond the minimalism of metalization.
Endless colorless base coats for smoothing substrate surfaces are no longer needed. On the contrary, they require depth and texture for sprayed metal colors to shine.
So many unique, specific, unalterable colors can be created by spraying alloys and metals in different environments. There are remarkable yellows, golds, greens, reds, magentas, blues, or turquoises to be discovered.All these original colors are designed to last over time.
Beyond a mere optical effect, protective coating creates a soft, silky finish.
All substrates can be metalized: BioPlastic, glass, wood, metal, elastomer, bearing in mind that each material is unique and will require specific care.
Altus Coating formulates UV varnishes ranging from the most flexible to the hardest, for perfect substrate binding. It involves an alchemy between polymers and materials.
Please note that some highly flexible materials can be a real challenge when they undergo compression, extension, or twisting.
