Anti-glare, hardcoat and UV-cure advances are pushing AR lenses toward clearer views, lighter builds and lower power needs.

This article discusses new developments in water-based UV-curable polyurethanes that offer much-improved 50 °C paint stability in clear, as well as pigmented coatings. It also discusses how these resins address the desired attributes of the coating applicator in increasing line speed through fast water release, improved block resistance, and solvent resistance off the line.

Why are UV-curable coatings gaining traction worldwide? Given their ability to facilitate higher productivity and line speeds, UV-curable coatings support space, time, and energy savings.

This lab will help accelerate research into photopolymerization, a future-oriented technology that improves energy savings and doesn’t require the use of solvents. It will also explore new and more sustainable UV-curable materials.

Market research and consulting company MarketsandMarkets has published a new report on the UV-curable resins market.

BASF announced plans to strengthen its production site at Mortara, Italy, by optimizing the production network for its photoinitiator business.
