        • uniGUARD Temporary Strippable Protective CoatingsuniGUARD Temporary Strippable Protective Film Applications UNICHEM gives manufacturers a cost-effective method of applying a strippable protective layer to protect products over a wide range of metal surfaces and organic coatings. uniGUARD removable film is easily applied and can be removed or sacrificed during production or consumption to protect against processing and shipping damage. Protective films provide needed protection against damage and scratches, preserving the finish of everything from automobiles to appliances, brass fixtures to silver-plated housewares. One of the challenges in this industry is the need to carry a wide array of inventories based upon film widths and adhesive types which can be very costly to manufacturers. uniGUARD provides high-quality, cost-effective solutions to products and processes in many general application markets such as: Appliances HVAC Trailers Building panels Automotive trim Decorative hardware Any other application requiring a temporary removable film uniGUARD by UNICHEM provides the versatility to provide high performance with cost-reductions to coil applied applications as well as other application methods.  UNICHEM partners with you to provide solutions to your challenges with ingenuity and elegance. Our team of scientists and engineers offer custom chemistries to meet your specifications with deep technical knowledge and market expertise. UNICHEM is dedicated…

        • uniRASE Dry Erase CoatingsUNICHEM’s NANO technology offers enhanced levels of scuff resistance and durability to either the uniRASE 300 or 500 series of dry erase technology. UNICHEM’s Solution to Dry Erase Coatings Challenges While dry erase boards have been around for decades, the industry offered limited choices with either heavy glass, a costly porcelain finish board or an economical laminate film. The less expensive options delivered poor performance with ghosting (not erasing completely), premature wear and required frequent cleaning. Traditional dry erase coatings still had limitations without post-forming capability, offering only rectangular boards or panels inserted into frames. With increased popularity of dry erase technology, a more cost-effective, efficient manufacturing process was needed to expand the market.  Dry erase coatings coil applied to steel substrates enable office product and dry erase board manufacturers to expand the possibilities with dry erase doors, panels, cubicles, 3D shapes or curved surfaces. uniRASE provides dry erase board manufacturers a surface that minimizes ghosting and shadowing, always keeping your white board fresh and ready to use. UNICHEM has developed dry erase technology for coil coated substrates that can be post-formed to accommodate manufacturers and end users. uniRASE delivered the solution with dry erase technology to meet the needs…
