Our UV paints can be hardened with ultraviolet light in fractions of seconds. They can be formulated with solids of up to 100% and therefore represent a extremely low-VOC paint class.
The usual application methods for UV lacquers are rollers, spraying/curtain coating and Vakumat applications. Whilst lacquers with a 100% solids content are usually used for the rolling process and the Vakumat application, solvent-based and watery UV lacquers are primarily used for spray and casting applications.
The most important features of our UV lacquers:
- Dry in just a few seconds
- Various application types (rolling, curtain coating, spraying)
- Light-fastness and resistant to chemicals
- Low solvent content, low pollution
- Resistant to impacts and abrasion
- Broad range for various applications
- Technological market leader for industrial UV painting

Properties of UV-lacquers
- The roller application in particular allows a very high level of application efficiency that is almost loss-free. Thanks to the small application quantity, there is an excellent price-performance ratio.
- Various application types such as rolling, spraying and curtain coating are possible.
- Low pollution is guaranteed because the lacquers contain none or only very small amounts of solvents.
- The lacquers are easy to handle.
- Fast drying in just a few seconds allows short production systems.
- The surfaces stand out thanks to their light-fast character and their high chemical resistance and outstanding impact and abrasion resistance.
Special aspects of UV lacquers
- Special UV hardening systems are required (mercury or gallium emitter)
- The new LED spots are forward-thinking units that offer further optimisation potential.
- There may be restrictions in the field of opaque pigmented colours.
- The repair properties are partially restricted.
- Hydro-UV-lacquers are used in a spray and casting procedure and are emulsions of acrylic or PE or PU resins in water. They are a real low-VOC alternative to conventional solvent lacquers. UV water-based lacquers can achieve high chemical and mechanical resistance that correspond to the solvent-based UV lacquers.
