Additives for radiation curing systems
Radiation curing systems (UV and EB curing) have found wide usage in several
industrial sectors where high-quality surface coatings are of interest. The main areas ofapplication are wood and furniture coatings, industrial coatings, can coatings, printing
inks (including overprint varnishes), inkjet inks, and powder coatings. This brochuresummarizes our additive recommendations for these applications.
Solvent-free additives are naturally preferred for solvent-free formulations; however,solvent-borne additives may also be used (except in powder coatings), as long as they
contribute only small amounts of solvent to the final formulation.
Several products were specifically developed for radiation curing formulations:these are acrylated additives that can participate in crosslinking reactions. They arespecially marked in the following tables.
Details about all the additives mentioned can be found in the corresponding
Technical Data Sheets that are also available at our website www.byk.com.
