Surface note
A0126 owns the matte, subsequent-print-receptive surface route; it is not the WOP transparent gloss direction or the 24-10-33 tactile soft-touch direction.

A0126 Water-Based Matte Print-Receptive Varnish
A0126 is a water-based acrylic-emulsion varnish for a uniform matte dry film with subsequent-print receptivity on paper, treated film, pearlized film, and verified synthetic materials. Final suitability requires validation with the actual substrate and coating-to-print process.
Overview
A matte surface prepared for a subsequent printing step
Start with the actual substrate, coating side, coating method, intended later print step, and comparison sample. A0126 is selected for matte print receptivity, not for WOP gloss or 24-10-33 tactile feel.
A0126 is a water-based acrylic-emulsion varnish whose published dry-film direction is a uniform matte surface with receptivity to subsequent printing. The intended later print step is part of the product decision, not an assumed result after coating.
Paper is within the published substrate route and still requires validation. Treated film, pearlized film, and verified synthetic materials are the other published material classes. Identify the actual substrate, coating side where applicable, and complete coating-to-print process. Typical catalogue values are not guarantees; the actual substrate and process determine the validation result.

Suitable inquiry types
Where the sample discussion should start
A useful product inquiry starts from the material and process, then moves to performance targets.
Paper-coating trials where a uniform matte surface and a later printing step are both required
Treated-film or pearlized-film trials using the actual coating side and downstream print process
Verified synthetic-material trials using the actual substrate and complete coating-to-print process
Flexographic, gravure, roller, or offline coating evaluations
Buyers who can provide the substrate, coating process, intended later print step, and comparison sample
Sample validation
Send the coating job and subsequent print step together
A concise first message should identify the real material and the later printing requirement. It starts a sample review; it does not guarantee suitability.

FAQ
A0126 Water-Based Matte Print-Receptive Varnish questions buyers usually ask
What is A0126 intended to do?
A0126 is intended to form a uniform matte dry surface that remains receptive to subsequent printing. The actual matte and later-print result must be validated with the intended substrate and complete coating-to-print process.
How is A0126 different from WOP and 24-10-33?
A0126 is the matte, print-receptive route for a later printing step. WOP owns the published transparent, smooth, gloss inline-finish direction, while model 24-10-33 owns the tactile soft-touch direction.
Which substrates can be evaluated with A0126?
Paper, treated film, pearlized film, and verified synthetic materials can be evaluated. Use the actual substrate, identify the coating side where applicable, and validate the complete process. No universal film compatibility is implied.
Which coating processes are listed for A0126?
The product catalogue lists flexographic, gravure, roller, and offline coating. The actual delivery setup and later printing process still need a controlled trial.
Are the published A0126 values guaranteed specifications?
No. Solids of 44–50%, viscosity of 75–90 seconds using coating cup No. 4 at 25°C, and pH of 7.5–8.0 at 25°C are typical catalogue values, not guarantees under every condition.
What information should accompany an A0126 sample request?
Send the substrate and coating side, coating process and delivery setup, machine speed and drying setup, intended subsequent printing process and ink, target result, current comparison sample or issue, and available physical samples.
Typical-data and validation boundary
Approve the actual coating-to-print result
The published solids, viscosity, and pH values are typical catalogue data and are not guaranteed under every condition. Final suitability must be validated with the actual substrate, coating side, coating process, drying setup, subsequent printing step, and acceptance method. No broader performance or compliance conclusion is made.
