Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies for painting the inside of vitreous flasks do not effectively create unique and sophisticated visual effects, and the methods lack precision and customization, failing to meet the demands of the perfumery, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for distinctive and luxurious packaging.

Innovation Solution

A paint composition comprising epoxy or acrylic water-based varnish, catalyst, and additive, combined with an automated and parameterized method controlling preheating, surface temperature, paint spraying angle, and curing temperature, ensures full adherence and polymerization on the flask's inner surface, creating a thin layer that does not interfere with packaged products, and allows for three-dimensional visual effects.
