Solutions for Various Application Scenarios of UV Acrylic Resin

Prospect

Acrylic resins that rapidly undergo crosslinking and curing under ultraviolet irradiation replace traditional thermal curing methods, featuring fast curing speed, excellent environmental performance (low volatile organic compound emissions), high hardness, superior abrasion resistance and chemical resistance, and are widely used in coatings, inks, adhesives, and other fields. Water-based UV systems are also highly popular. Matching silicone UV additives have gained a broad market application.

UV Coatings, Inks

Defects inherent in UV acrylic resins, such as steam resistance, salt spray resistance, anti-aging, anti-blocking, tactile feel, and other issues, still require silicone additives for resolution. The new requirement for silicone additives is to participate in the UV curing reaction to fully integrate. Some systems require no impact on transparency. Our company has developed and produced a series of acrylate-modified polysiloxanes, including BD-2100, BD-2730, BD-3000, BD-3500, BD-3501, BD-3170, BD-2750, BD-2760, BD-2780, BD-2505, BD-3320, etc., specifically tailored for UV acrylics, providing solutions for various specific issues with UV acrylic resins. For example:

• UV clearcoats: Recommended to add BD-2505 to improve tactile feel and gloss while ensuring no impact on system transparency, and enhance comprehensive performance such as abrasion resistance, yellowing resistance, and weather resistance.
• 3D printing acrylic consumables: Add BD-2780 or BD-2505 to improve product surface smoothness and. Enhance resin toughness and comprehensive performance such as abrasion resistance, yellowing resistance, and weather resistance.
• UV coatings anti-graffiti: Add BD-2780 or BD-2505 to improve coating anti-graffiti and self-cleaning properties.
• UV coatings anti-poster adhesion: Add BD-3170 to improve coating anti-poster adhesion performance. For anti-poster adhesion with super smooth and silky feel, add BD-3320.
• UV paper release agents: Add BD-3501 to improve coating release properties. Our company can also be entrusted to customize UV silicone release agents.
• Water-based UV coatings abrasion and scratch resistance: Add BD-3482 or BD-3482X, or BD-5000, to improve tactile feel and enhance coating anti-blocking, anti-scratch, and abrasion resistance.
• Water-based UV inks: Add BD-2100 to improve spreading and leveling on substrates and transfer release performance. BD-2100 also helps improve filler dispersion stability in the system, enhancing ink quality.
• Fine-tuning comprehensive physical properties of UV coatings, such as Tg temperature, hardness, flexibility, anti-yellowing, boil resistance, etc.: Select additives like BD-2750, BD-2760, BD-2780 for testing and evaluation.
