Marabu Matt Varnish is a UV screen printing matt varnish designed for full-area or spot coating applications. It provides an even, low-reflection matte (“anti-glare”) surface, enhances the visual appearance of prints, and allows the creation of special graphic effects.

The varnish is suitable for a wide range of plastic substrates (PVC, PC, coated polyesters, etc.); due to variations in substrates, preliminary testing is recommended. After UV curing, it forms a durable varnish layer with excellent adhesion.

Packaging: 1 kg
