When selecting materials, cost-effectiveness is an important consideration, and there are many differences in cost between PET coatings and UV coatings.

In terms of procurement cost, the price of PET coating is relatively close to the people, and its raw material cost and production process are relatively simple, which makes the price of PET coating products on the market generally low. For some small businesses with limited budgets or cost-sensitive application scenarios, PET coating may be attractive in the early stage of procurement. However, UV coatings have high technical content and high research and development costs. Like Lankwitzer's UV insulating battery coating (EvoProtect 455 UV), it took years of research and development to enter the market, and its procurement price is relatively high. But in the long run, the cost-effectiveness of both cannot be judged solely on the basis of procurement cost.

In terms of production and processing costs, although the equipment investment of PET coating is relatively small during the processing process, the coating process is more cumbersome and requires manual or mechanical bonding operations. For some objects with complex shapes, the bonding is more difficult, and the efficiency is low, and the labor cost is high. UV coatings are constructed by spraying and other methods, and with automated equipment, such as Lankwitzer's UV coatings to support automated production, which can realize a continuous production line without human intervention, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs. In addition, UV coatings cure quickly, which can quickly enter the next production link and shorten the production cycle. From the perspective of the overall production process, the time cost is reduced.

In terms of maintenance costs, PET coatings are prone to wear and tear, aging and other problems during use, and need to be replaced regularly, which increases maintenance costs. For example, in the application of protective films for electronic equipment, PET coatings may need to be replaced every few months. UV coating has good wear resistance, weather resistance and other properties. Under normal use conditions, maintenance requirements are low, which can maintain good performance for a long time and reduce later maintenance costs.

From the perspective of long-term economic benefits, PET coating has a high comprehensive cost due to its short service life and frequent maintenance. Although UV coating has a large upfront purchase and equipment investment, it can bring higher economic benefits to enterprises in large-scale applications and long-term use due to its efficient production and processing process, low maintenance costs and long-term use. It can achieve effective cost control and maximize benefits.
