Recent energy-curable resin developments respond to the increasing demand for suitable oligomers for coatings on plastics in different segments such as consumer electronics, cosmetic packaging and automotive interiors for different specifications and aesthetic requirements.

This article will describe the individual properties and coating formulations for each of the three resins in this system before explaining how they can be combined into one innovative coating system that provides exceptional adhesion as well as chemical and scratch resistance.

Traditional two-pack PUR technology combined with surface-modified nanosilica particles results in increased scratch and abrasion resistance in transparent, high-gloss coatings for plastics.
