TBP-08 Base Coat: Levelling Primer for MDF Backing Panels

TBP-08 Base Coat is a water-based primer formulated to prepare fibreboard before flexographic printing. Applied with a coater, it leaves a smooth, level surface on which flexographic inks anchor uniformly. It is aimed specifically at MDF backing panels, where the regularity of the base directly determines how faithfully the printed design reproduces.

Operational Benefits on Press

  • Level surface: evens out board porosity and removes the irregularities that cause differences in ink absorption.
  • Flexographic anchorage: provides a receptive base that improves adhesion and definition of the subsequent print.
  • Water-based formulation: solvent-free, in line with the emission requirements of wood finishing lines.
  • Coater application: fits into the standard finishing process with no dedicated equipment.
