Upcocoat® is a matt textured release polyester film with an acrylic transfer coating. The EB cured coating is transferred onto the receiving substrate - typically melamine - while the textured PET is peeled off. The result is a surface with highly functional properties such as anti-scratch, anti-fingerprint, velvet touch, UV blocking and others according to client requirements.
Upcocoat® ‘s transparency, flatness, humidity resistance and high bonding guarantee easy handling and maximum efficiency in any lamination process.
Upcocoat® is compatible with a vast range of melamine resins and glues and designed to becoming the surface of laminates, lacquered boards and surfaces on HDF, MDF and particle boards, and any other materials where a special surface finishing is required. In TX2 version the antistatic release-coating helps the customer to handle the film during the surface finishing process.
Using Upcocoat® Duogloss as a release carrier, Upcocoat® is now able to combine design possibilities with its functional properties.
Today the Upcocoat ® range includes 6 different versions each one with specific characteristics and compatible with the different production processes of our customers (HPL, CPL, LPL/TFL).
Upco invests in partnerships with other industry suppliers, such as decorative paper manufacturers, or clients looking to enhance their product range by adding aesthetics and functional features like matt and soft-touch finish, scratch resistance, antifingerprint properties, and UV protection.
The Upcocoat® product range includes an ECO version containing 70% recycled PET (rPET) coming from post-consumer recycling of plastic waste material (plastic bottles, food trays, etc.). Upcocoat® ECO products have the same guaranteed final features and performance as standard Upco® products.
