ALTUS COATING
UV-cured varnish contains special molecules that destroy contaminants over time. This is a key selling point for major clients who are eager to offer hygiene and health safety to their customers, as they see their products being handled all day long (mascara, powder compact, perfume, etc.). The high technology behind UV-dried varnishes for finishing cosmetic containers, developed by Altus Coating since 2007, based on in-depth polymer knowledge, was a legitimate reason to plan this R&D endeavor in bio-chemistry in 2020. Today, this allows the company to offer an engineered antimicrobial solution capable of neutralizing bacteria and viruses as soon as the contaminants land on the varnish, without affecting the aesthetic, specialized, or ethical properties of the coated products. A MORE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY SOLUTION The AlSafe® solution would also significantly reduce the use of disinfectant products, which have been proven to play a role in the release of VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) into the atmosphere. This technology is compatible with the use of bio-based varnish. The active ingredients of AlSafe® do not contain nanoparticles. These ingredients meet regulatory requirements and are listed on the Biocidal Products Regulation, BPR (REACH). They do not contain SVHC substances and are not endocrine disruptors. They are considered Food Contact Substances (FCS) by the Food and Drug Administration (USA). Packaging treated with AlSafe® can follow its normal processing/recycling cycle.
