Many cinema screen surfaces for passive 3D and digital cinema are
coated with solvent-based paint. Most of these paints have a
chemical odor and produce a pollutant known as ground-level ozone
in the atmosphere. When inhaled, the irritable odor can cause
serious damage to humans and animals.
The in-house R&D team at leading screen manufacturer Galalite
has collaborated with European laboratories to produce a non-toxic
optical paint system for coating on all their screen surfaces. This
paint keeps the screen material from "yellowing" as opposed to
solvent-based coatings, without compromising on finishes and still
caring for Mother Nature.
Founded in 1959, Galalite is a family-owned business based in
Mumbai, India, and the first Indian company to export screens
around the world.
