Solution Overview

Starsplas has independently developed proprietary “UV Developing Agent” and “UV Structural Paint,” pioneering a revolutionary “subtractive” 3D texture technology. Combined with high-precision digital printing, this solution authentically replicates natural textures such as wood grain and stone patterns, delivering vivid three-dimensional finishes. Paired with high-performance UV coatings, it creates 3D digital coatings that harmonize visual elegance with exceptional durability—infusing modern living and commercial spaces with natural inspiration and technological sophistication.

Key Innovations

1. “Subtractive” 3D Texture Technology
Moving beyond traditional “additive” material layering, Starsplas’ innovative process leverages proprietary “UV Developing Agent” and “UV Structural Paint.” During UV curing, these components undergo differential reactions that selectively etch surface textures—enabling more precise and efficient replication of the deep, intricate grain of natural wood and stone.
2. Differentiated Curing & Gradient Brushing Technology
Under specific UV exposure conditions, the UV Developing Agent and UV Structural Paint exhibit varying curing rates and shrinkage behaviors. Combined with a precisely controlled gradient brushing process, this creates authentic, natural-looking vessel depressions and gradient variations in patterns. The result is flooring and panel textures that appear effortlessly organic, bringing the vivid essence of nature into interior spaces.
3. Adjustable Texture Depth
Through digital control of printing and coating parameters, texture depth and profile can be precisely tailored—catering to diverse design needs, from subtle  tactile nuances to bold three-dimensional effects.

Innovation Protection

This proprietary technology has been filed for patent protection simultaneously in China, the United States, and Europe—reinforcing Starsplas’ commitment to intellectual property and technological leadership.
Four Core Advantages
1. Ultimate Aesthetics, Comparable to Nature
Utilizing synchronized grain-matching technology, the visual pattern aligns perfectly with the 3D texture—achieving exceptional realism that faithfully replicates the premium look and feel of natural materials. It delivers a true biomimetic experience for both sight and touch.
2. Design Freedom & Rapid Customization
Supports personalized pattern customization with one-pass printing, eliminating the need for cumbersome plate production. This enables rapid response to diverse, small-batch market demands while unlocking unlimited creative possibilities for designers worldwide.
3. Superior Durability, Long-Lasting Performance
Equipped with an ultra-wear-resistant UV coating, the solution delivers outstanding abrasion and scratch resistance—effectively addressing the industry-wide pain point of scuffing in traditional PVC flooring and significantly extending product service life.
4. High Efficiency, Eco-Friendliness & Cost Savings
The streamlined process reduces consumption of multiple layers (e.g., printed films, separate wear layers), lowering inventory pressure and raw material costs at the source. Meanwhile, the UV coating system is environmentally friendly, fully aligning with global green manufacturing trends and sustainability goals.

Coating Process

Step 1: Base Coverage
Uniformly conceal the natural base color of diverse substrates (PVC, wood, etc.) with a roller-applied colored primer. This creates a clean, consistent canvas tailored to design requirements, ensuring optimal conditions for subsequent digital printing.
Step 2: Digital Pattern Printing
Utilize high-precision digital inkjet equipment to print woodgrain, stone, or custom patterns directly onto the substrate in a single pass—achieving precise alignment and faithful color reproduction per customer specifications.
Step 3: Application of Wear-Resistant Structural Coating
Roll-coat a specialized wear-resistant structural coating over the printed pattern, forming a robust “protective armor” that enhances durability and practicality for flooring and panel applications.
Step 4: UV Developing Agent Printing (Core Step)
Digitally print Starsplas’ proprietary UV Developing Agent onto the structural coating. This agent works synergistically with downstream processes to enable synchronized grain matching and authentic 3D texture—laying the foundation for the solution’s signature effect.
Step 5: Gradient Brushing & Dust Removal
Apply a controlled gradient brushing process to physically etch realistic vessel grooves and tactile grain into areas treated with the UV Developing Agent. A thorough dust-removal step ensures surface cleanliness, resulting in a perfectly harmonized 3D effect where visual appearance and touch sensation align seamlessly.
Step 6: Matte/Gloss Topcoat Finishing
Apply a matte or gloss topcoat based on desired aesthetics and performance requirements. This step further enhances scratch and stain resistance while refining the 3D texture—delivering a more lifelike, visually compelling, and premium finish.
