ALLUX and ALCURE

Two varnish ranges – ALCURE and ALLUX UV – that cure almost instantly under UV light, a process that’s more energy efficient compared to traditional thermal drying, reducing both COV and CO2 emissions. The varnishes have been created to deliver exceptional chemical and mechanical resistance. Both ranges are formulated using UV-reactive components with low VOC content and are cured using UV light generated by Hg lamps, for fast processing and reduced energy use. The varnishes can be used on materials including all types of plastics, metals, glass, and paper. Suitable for general purpose finishing needs, the product range spans basecoats and topcoats designed for metallization processes, alongside clear gloss and matte varnishes. There are also special-effect formulations such as soft-touch coatings interferential pigments – to create color-shifting effects – and glitter finishes, so brands can use the range to create unique visual and tactile effects. 

Altus Coating’s product development connects creative insight with scientific precision. Every project begins with in-depth analyses of UV-curable materials, followed by laboratory and industrial trials that match specifications. Each formulation in the ALCURE and ALLUX high-solid UV varnish ranges is adjusted to specific customer needs, ensuring exceptional chemical and mechanical resistance. All of Altus Coating’s work reflects performance, clarity, and sustainability. Every step involves close client collaboration to validate functionality and aesthetics. The company’s innovative approach was recognized with a nomination for the Luxe Pack in Green Award 2025.

Altus Coating’s UV-curable high solid varnishes offer high reactivity, low VOC content, and outstanding chemical and mechanical resistance. UV-curing technology significantly reduces energy consumption compared with thermal systems, supporting more efficient and sustainable production. Formulations can be customized to meet precise technical and aesthetic needs, while high-quality materials—including bio-based components—ensure high performances and durability. Advanced technological and laboratory capabilities guarantee excellent results for different applications on various substrates. The products reflect a balanced, sustainability-driven approach to development, delivering reliability, efficiency and reduced environmental impact, while increasing efficiency of production due to shorter evaporation time.

The ALCURE and ALLUX ranges are high-performance UV-curable varnishes designed to deliver exceptional chemical and mechanical resistance. Both series are formulated using UV-reactive components with low VOC content and are cured using UV light generated by Hg lamps, enabling fast processing and reduced energy use. These varnishes are suitable for a wide variety of substrates, including all types plastics, metals, glass, paper and others. ALCURE products cover general-purpose finishing needs, offering gloss and mat versions, as well as coloured and special-effect formulations. ALLUX focuses on metallization processes, providing both basecoat and topcoat solutions that ensure strong adhesion, durability, and aesthetic consistency. Both ranges are supported by advanced laboratory and industrial testing capabilities, guaranteeing consistent quality and tailored adjustments for specific customer requirements. Our facilities include a fully equipped coating line, a vacuum metallization (PVD) and sputtering machine, as well as a chromatograph, microscope and other advanced laboratory instruments. This technical infrastructure allows us to develop, test, and fine-tune our formulations with precision, ensuring optimal performance and consistency for each customer application. ALCURE and ALLUX products are fully available on the market and reflect Altus Coating’s commitment to high performance, technological expertise, and responsible manufacturing.
