DNQ actives and UV CtCP plate coatings — made in India.
Fine photosensitive chemicals for the printing and electronics trade.
Orion manufactures diazonaphthoquinone building blocks, sodium salts and ready-to-use coating systems for UV CtCP offset plates and electronic photoresists — engineered at our works in Karad, Maharashtra.
From diazo building blocks to ready-to-use plate coatings.
Offset plate industry
Conventional positive UV CtCP diazo polymer and developer-free Orion Next coating systems for anodised aluminium plate lines.
Electronics micro lithography
Building blocks and ready grades for g-line and i-line positive photoresists on silicon wafers.
CtCP plates that develop in plain tap water.
Our multi-polymer Orion Next coating produces negative-working UV CtCP plates that need no alkaline developer. No corrosive chemistry, no developer to maintain, no strong effluent in city sewers — just water.
How it works →Two industries, one chemistry.
UV CtCP offset printing plates
DNQ actives form the photosensitive layer in computer-to-conventional-plate systems, imaged by 360–375 nm UV laser plate setters across commercial and packaging print. Orion Next developer-free CtCP coating.
Electronic circuit photoresists
The same diazonaphthoquinone chemistry serves as a positive photoresist for patterning electronic circuits, where resolution and clean development matter. Electronics micro lithography products.
Built for printers and manufacturers who value reliable supply.
