100% UV Acrylate Systems

Top coats based on 100% UV acrylate paints are known for surfaces that impress with unique properties.

Applications for the strong, resilient top coats are
  • Kitchen furniture/furniture, etc.
  • Caravaning
  • Luxury Vinyl Tiles (LVT) flooring
  • Packaging and much more 

 


 

The outstanding properties of the surfaces include:
  • super matte gloss level
  • extreme scratch resistance 
  • higher chemical resistance 
  • low migration
  • soft-touch feel
  • high surface energy
  • fingerprint repellent 
  • overprintability
  • good embossing and die-cutting properties

 


 

Generation of Supermatte Surfaces by Excimer- and UV-Curing

Rough surface structure generated by matting agents (Chemical Matting)

Rough surface structure generated by Excimer/UV-Curing (Physical Matting)

Diffuse light reflection from the surface leads to a matt appearance of the coating

Matting agents are generally used in the lacquers to produce matt surfaces. This is referred to as chemical matting. In physical matting, excimer lacquers are used, which begin to expand on the surface by means of 172 nm irradiation and thus wrinkle. This can be used to create super matt and closed surfaces.
