Discover the benefits of Opacicote

Andy Findlay

The Opacicote range is tailored to customer needs. When used in pre-coating on board substrates, the products offer high whiteness, high opacity and excellent surface coverage. This in turn means they are suitable for coating on all types of fiber quality, providing a perfect surface to apply a topcoat and reach all gloss, smoothness and printability targets.
