Pearlescent Coating Substrates: Complete Compatibility Guide for Packaging Materials
Pearlescent coating substrates compatibility determines whether your pearl finish achieves lasting adhesion or fails prematurely through peeling, cracking, or delamination. Understanding surface energy, pre-treatment requirements, and material-specific considerations ensures successful coating application across diverse packaging materials.
The packaging industry applies pearlescent coatings to substrates ranging from uncoated paper to metallized films, each presenting unique challenges. Paper and cardboard readily accept water-based formulations, while plastics and metals often require surface treatment or specialized coating chemistry for proper adhesion.…
