Paint

for PLASTIC / GLASS

The method of applying a paint on and coloring the surfaces of glass bottles and plastic containers offers a variety of tones for colorful expressions.

Paint

The use of a paint is a flexible way of producing
transparent(clear-colored)*,
translucent* or opaque
containers, as well as vibrant pearly tones and gradations,
which are difficult to produce
by coloring the substrate material.
While spray paint and electrostatic paint are typically
used,
the finished painted film has the same level of
strength.
* When choosing a milk white material, please remember
that it is not possible to make it transparent.

Example paints

Paint Techniques

Left:Gloss Right:Matte

A matte finish can be achieved by adding a matte agent to the top coat. (Both glass and plastic containers can have a matte finish. )

Example Paint Expressions

Gradient Paint

Enables shaded expressions and combinations of colors.

Internal Paint

Internal paint is an option for containers that feature a two-part body. Painting the internal surface of the outer part, which does not come into contact with the contents, gives the container a depth and a sophisticated appearance.

Various Pigments and Other Specs

Various attractive pigments effectively produce a refined style and unique
characteristics such as pearly shines and mirror-like effects.

Pearl

The Pearl pigment is used to simulate a pearl-like luster. The color comes from multiple reflections produced by variations in refractive index resulting from different thicknesses of titanium oxide or other substances coated on mica or other substrates. Paint is useful for producing beautiful pearly colors with a threedimensional effect, since the process ca n be divided into base color and pearly color paint processes if necessary.

METASHINE® glossy pigment

METASHINE® is a glossy inorganic pigment by which metal or metal oxide coatings on the substrate surfaces of glass flakes present a stylish gloss.

Comparison between Vacuum Metalized and Paint

Outer cap : internal paint
( mirror )

Inner cap : vacuum metalized

Comparison between Vacuum Metalized and Paint

Hiding the clearance between the inner cap and outer cap, paint produces a different type of upscale image from vacuum metalized inner caps.

Outer cap : internal paint ( mirror )

Inner cap : vacuum metalized

A special mirror paint is spray-painted ultra-thinly and uniformly onto the inner surface of a cap. The result, when viewed from outside, is a shiny gloss finish like a vacuum metalized surface or actual mirror. Paints can be used to decorate the inner surface of a cap, which is a part that is usually difficult to decorate through vacuum metallizing.

Colorstream® polarizing pigment

Color variation

Artificially synthesized substrate silica flakes coated with titanium oxide or iron oxide make a novel type of pigment. Smooth surfaces and uniform thickness of artificial silica flakes contribute to reflecting incident light at different angles. Shifts in color depending on the viewing angle effectively catch the eye. Choose from the prearranged polarization patterns in a number of color variations. ( A strong polarization effect is gained by painting onto a dark color.)

Softouch Paint

Color variation

Select softouch when you want a container that feels moist to the touch. The softouch paint is softer and thicker than the conventional frost-like paint*. Its rubbery texture also makes the container non-slippery. Pale color variations are available (the addition of a dark pigment would impair the texture).
* A paint technique used to achieve a frost glass-like surface.

Acoustic Leather Paint

A special primer is used to achieve a paint that looks like leather.
Since its surface is not flat, the acoustic leather paint is not for printing.
However, to mark letters, symbols and other items on the paint, use laser marking. Color variations are available for acoustic leather paints.

UV-Cut Paint

Transmittance of high UV cut coating

Ultraviolet A wave wavelength (nm)

A UV-cutting agent can be added to the top coat. Moreover, a high UV-cut paint* is also available, which cuts UV more effectively than conventional ones and its UV cut rates for UV-A wavelengths are 99.9% at 385 nm and 99.6% at 400 nm (see graph below). When painted onto a transparent bottle, the high UV cut paint looks pale green (see photo). Color variations are available for UV-cut paints.
* Good only for glass
* It is recommended to select the UV-cut paint depending on the properties of the contents.

Antibacterial coating

This additive is used to inhibit bacteria such as E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Unlike disinfectants that kill bacteria, this product uses safe silver ions to inhibit bacterial growth.

Antiviral coating

The metal ions contained in the additive inhibit the multiplication of the virus by damaging its protein membrane.
