Aquatex FPH
Aquatex FPH® is a range of water based screen printable selective texturing varnishes for Film Insert Moulding (FIM) applications. In use the products are screen printed onto the areas of the flat FIM substrate where texture or gloss control is required, then dried using a hot air drier. The printed film can then be deep formed to produce 3D parts. The coatings must then be UV cured to produce very hard reagent resistant surfaces.
Features
- The Aquatex FPH® range includes:
- Aquatex Supermatt.
- Aquatex Fine.
- Aquatex Coarse.
- Aquatex Gloss Modifier.
- The Supermatt, Fine and Coarse textures can either be used as designed or they can be blended together, along with the Gloss Modifier to give an infinite range of texture and gloss options.
- Note. Aquatex Gloss Modifier is not suitable for use un-blended.

- Excellent solvent resistance.
- Highly abrasion resistant.

Additional Information
The textures produced are extremely hard and durable and can withstand attack from a wide range of chemicals and solvents. When selectively printed it enables the integration of glossy and textured areas on a single FIM part.
