Drytac liquid coatings approved for use with HP Latex Inks

 

Drytac Europe Ltd, manufacturer and supplier of products for the graphics finishing and display industry, have announced that their EnduraCoat and InstaCure liquid coating products have been approved compatible with HP’s Latex Inks on HP Outdoor Frontlit Scrim Banner and HP PVC-free Wall Paper.

“HP and Drytac have been cooperating to perform product compatibility tests between our liquid coating products and HP Latex Inks,” says Jim Tatum, Vice President and General Manager of Drytac’s Liquid Coatings Division. “With the popularity of HP’s Latex Inks and compatible medias we wanted to make sure that Drytac® had the correct match of product offerings.”

Products in both the EnduraCoat aqueous coating and InstaCure UV curable coating lines have been tested as compatible with HP Latex Ink prints. Specific products include:

 

  • EnduraCoat UltraMural and EnduraCoat Sign and Banner, liquid coatings for digital wall coverings and sign and banner graphics are approved to be compatible with HP Latex Ink prints on HP Outdoor Frontlit Scrim Banner and HP PVC-free Wall Paper.
  • InstaCure POP and InstaCure Superflex Satin Matte UV curable coatings also tested compatible with HP’s Outdoor Frontlit Scrim Banner and HP PVC-free Wall Paper when printed using HP latex inks.

 

“We’re extremely excited to have Drytac’s liquid coatings meet HP’s compatibility standards and look forward to collaborating with HP on more compatibility testing,” says Tatum.

EnduraCoat aqueous and InstaCure UV curable liquid coatings both contain a blend of acrylic and non-yellowing urethane polymers to give indoor/outdoor graphics flexibility and maximum outdoor durability.  Drytac’s liquid manufacturing process uses metal-free formulas and below standard VOC levels, which help ensure more environmentally friendly products.

Coatings in Drytac’s EnduraCoat aqueous coating and InstaCure UV curable coating lines can be applied with Drytac’s compatible liquid coaters.  EnduraCoat aqueous coatings can also be applied with a roller, paint pad, or airless sprayer.
