NEW FOODCLASS®
ACTEGA Terra FoodClass is the product line for certified UV coatings in the area of food packaging. These are all UV coatings that can be used in the indirect contact to dry and fat-including foodstuffs without the application of a functional or absolute barrier. FoodClass fulfils the following quality attributes:
Coatings are compliant with the Nestlé “Guidance Note on Packaging Inks“ (exception: oven/microwave applications). They are exclusively formulated on basis of photoinitiators that are listet in the EuPIA Suitability List of Photoinitiators for Low Migration UV 1A + 1B and that are part of the SR 817.023.21, list A.
They exclusively use higher (>2) acrylated monomers and binders.
They have been certified by an accredited testing laboratory. This combination of water-based primer and FoodClass UV coating shows a high-gloss finish over conventional inks. We applied both products full-area.
