- Performance Highlights
- UCECOAT 2806 has been developed as a binder for water-based overprint varnishes and inks where very low viscosity and water redispersibility before cure are important. The low grits content ensures easy product filterability combined with a good colloidal stability. This product is very reactive upon UV/EB curing and can be cured with mercury or UV LED lamps.
- The cured coating is hard and exhibits outstanding mechanical and chemical resistance in clear or pigmented applications. Its regulatory compliance and low migration potential makes it particularly suitable for indirect food contact packaging or label markets.
