Additives and Specialty Resins for UV curing powder coatings
Several additives and specialty resins were developed for blending with base binder resins. Like in a tool-box, they enable formulators to optimize film characteristics to achieve all specific requirements of intended applications.
UVECOAT® 9010 is a semi-crystalline co-resin for UV curable powder coating formulations; at the molten stage it significantly reduces the viscosity of the molten powder, enhances the substrate wetting and provides improved mechanical performance, flexibility and smoothness.
UVECOAT® 9146 is a unsaturated urethane acrylate with high functionality, introduced in UV curing powders it increases reactivity, cross-link density and hence chemical resistance and surface hardness of coatings.
Focal point for the development of
UVECOAT® 9539 was the improvement of adhesion, especially for application on metal substrates in higher film thicknesses than usual. It can be blended with
UVECOAT® 2100 and
UVECOAT® 2200 in any ratio.
