en.Wedoany.com Reported - German specialty coatings manufacturer Actega will showcase its sustainable and digital solutions for the metal packaging industry at booth 3C55 in Hall 3 at the Metpack trade fair in Essen, Germany, from May 5 to 8, 2026. Key exhibits include the Artistica water-based beverage end sealant, ACTNext UV/LED curing coatings, and Innocan digital printing technology.
Headquartered in Germany, Actega specializes in providing specialty coatings, inks, adhesives, and compounds for the printing and packaging industry. Its newly launched Artistica RB1006 Z3 sealant uses renewable raw materials and a zero-VOC formulation, having received the Cradle to Cradle Material Health Platinum certification. Designed specifically for two-piece aluminum beverage cans, it features the lowest dry film weight on the market, enabling material savings of up to 20%. The accompanying ROTARflow digital control system allows real-time monitoring of sealant usage at the application point, reducing waste and accelerating quality inspection decisions.
In the closure field, Actega has introduced Provalin compounds that are PVC-free and plasticizer-free, suitable for screw caps and press-and-twist caps, particularly meeting the packaging requirements for sensitive contents such as baby food. Its Svelon 835 ULG coating supports the manufacturing of ultra-thin crown caps as thin as 0.15mm, significantly reducing steel consumption. Meanwhile, its BPA-NI and PFAS-NI internal coating systems already comply with the requirements of EU Regulation 2024/3190.
Addressing the pain points of medium and short-run printing, Actega's Innocan technology, developed in collaboration with HP Indigo and Vislo, achieves offset printing-level image quality on metal substrates through digital film lamination and dual-curing processes, supporting full serialization and personalized production. Furthermore, ACTstar special effect inks provide thermochromic, tactile, and fluorescent effects, helping brands achieve differentiation at the point of sale.
