Features & Benefits

Performance Highlights

UCECOAT 2801 is characterized by:

  • Very low viscosity
  • Tacky after water evaporation and before UV curing
  • Tacky material can be re-dispersed and reused after filtration
  • Very good compatibility, easy formulation
  • GHS label-free
  • Very good UV reactivity
  • Tin and BPA free

UV/EB cured products based on UCECOAT 2801 are characterized by the following performance properties:

  • Very good adhesion on multiple substrates (e.g. paper & board, PVC, PC
  • Excellent flexibility
  • Outstanding wetting of surfaces
  • High hardness
  • Very low yellowing

The actual properties of UV/EB cured products also depend on the selection of other formulation components such as pigments, co-solvents, reactive diluents, additives, and photo-initiators
