The introduction of energy-curable polyurethane dispersions (UV PUDs) to complement the traditional radiation curing technology profoundly changed the market landscape by bringing coating performance and sustainability to the next level of requirements.
MCEC aims to outline the benefits of microbial control and how it is needed to protect and prevent paints from breaking down during storage and losing viscosity, texture and adhesion ability.
The demand for durability as well as for water-miscible products and those that generate little or no VOC has resulted in the launch of a hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS), offered initially to customers in Europe and introduced this year in Asia.
Intelli-ion offers a safer, smarter way to replace traditional toxic chemicals and heavy-metal-containing substitutes. It can be easily incorporated into existing coating products, and could even enhance certain coating properties.
With this powder coating technology, manufacturers can lower operational costs, increase end-product value and provide a mechanism for meaningful differentiation.
Developments in the area of information and communication technology are creating considerable potential and acting as a catalyst for innovations in automation, machinery and application systems.
UV LED cure is becoming more and more prevalent in several converting areas. UV-curable inkjet has used UV LED cure for pinning for many years. Acrylated amines can be used to either increase UV LED cure speed at existing PI concentrations, or maintain UV LED cure speed at reduced PI concentrations.
