Finishfit DFC 2169

Finishfit® WBC Barrier FCM DFC 2169 (DFC = direct food contact, suitable for direct food con-tact) is recommended for inline coating in the sheet-fed offset/coating unit (chambered doctor blade). The coating is also suitable for offline coating with dry, conventional inks. In both cases it can be applied without water.

Finishfit® WBC Barrier FCM DFC 2169 is suitable for use on the non-food contact side of a printed product that is intended to meet the requirements of Regulation (EC) No. 1935/2004, Art. 3. In addition, the Finishfit® WBC Barrier FCM DFC 2169 can be used in direct food con-tact. This has been confirmed by an independent analysis institute (SQTS) using a practical print sample as an example.

Finishfit® WBC Barrier FCM DFC 2169 has been specially developed for maximum press speed with minimum transfer times between printing and finishing.
