This article reports on new UV-curable MA oligomers, present their properties as viscous liquids and their outstanding properties as cured MAs (thin films).

The growth today in waterborne and radiation-cured coatings and inks far exceeds that of its solventborne equivalents. The need for lower VOCs, “greener” materials, improved food safety and reduced economics

An interview with Richard Jenkins, Global Group President for Arkema Coating Resins.

The performance of field-applied UV-curable floor finishes based on new UV-curable polyurethane dispersions has been compared to that of conventional floor finishes.

This article discusses the three types of OPVs and emphasizes the use of cellulose esters as additives to improve flow and leveling, and in many cases adhesion.

A unique acrylic/polyurethane technology has been described that offers a new mechanism for the faster release of coalescent from industrial wood coatings.

This investigation has shown that improvements can be made to the formulation by using a PEA in place of a BPA-containing epoxy acrylate.

Newer ultrafine nepheline syenite sizes have refractive index and physical properties that are particularly well suited for use as a performance additive in radiation-curable coatings, inks and adhesives.

This article focuses on matting agents based on SiO2 from precipitated and gel processes, which are marketed specifically for the UV coatings segment.
