LithoGard™ WF DULL Wax-Free Conventional OPV

Above: overprint varnish being applied with a sheetfed litho printing unit. LithoGard conventional litho OPV's are applied using this method.

LithoGard WF DULL sheetfed conventional overprint varnish is Kerley's premium, wax-free, no-gloss, low-color overprint varnish for the highest quality applications that require a non-yellowing finish. LithoGard WF DULL does not contain PTFE or any other wax, so dried films have limited scuff resistance. LithoGard WF DULL OPV is formulated to be used in the press fountain, just like an ink. This means that LithoGard WF DULL varnish can also be used a “spot” varnish for selective application of varnish on the printed sheet. 

LithoGard WF DULL OPV does accept lamination or stamping readily. LithoGard WF DULL, when properly applied and adequately air-cured, is capable of withstanding rub tests of several dozen strokes. LithoGard WF DULL contains cobalt drier, so it will form a skin when it is exposed to air. Contains silica, which must be stirred from the bottom of any container before usage.

LithoGard WF DULL will pass Calif. AQMD maximum 300 g/L VOC content requirements, and contains 63% bio/renewable materials.
