Features & Benefits

Performance Highlights

UCECOAT 2802 is characterized by:  

  • Translucent to bluish / dispersion 
  • 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
  • Label free
  • Very good Reactivity with UV
  • Tin and BPA free

UV/EB cured products based on UCECOAT 2802 are characterized by the following performance properties:

  • Very good adhesion on multiple different substrates; especially designed for adhesion on plasticized PVC latex.
  • Excellent flexibility / adhesion under stress
  • 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.
