IRIDESCENT FINISH ON POLYESTER FILM

Dear Sirs / Madams,

I am looking for a Process / Chemicals to Coat Iridescent Clear / Semi Clear Lacquer on to a Clear 12 Micron Thick Polyester Film. The process will be carried out on a Gravure Roll Coater & the coated Film will be dried by passing through a Infrared Heated Continuous Chamber. The process should be ideally solvent / lacquer system based to enable to work with The Gravure Coater.

The commercially available products (processed PET Film) give a lustrous iridescent shine of varying Colors.

If you can help me by suggesting ways & means into this method, I shall be extremely grateful.

Thanks & best regards,
