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.

This article explores the use of NEAT additives for a UV-curable waterborne resin, which yields a photostable coating. 

This paper will review the current use of silica nanoparticles in UV-curable coatings and introduce effective approaches for delivering silica nanoparticles to UV-curable resin formulations without the drawbacks of current solvent- or monomer-based silica nanoparticle dispersions.

A series of new acrylate monomers and oligomers with high renewable carbon content and differentiated physical properties has been developed.

This paper discusses UV-curable super-hydrophilic anti-fog coatings.
