Performance Highlights

UCECOAT 7200 is characterized by:

  • Low viscosity
  • White appearance

UV/EB cured coatings based on UCECOAT 7200 are characterized by the following performance properties:

  • High solids content
  • Very high reactivity
  • Very high hardness and scratch resistance
  • Excellent stain resistance
  • Direct adhesion to various plastic substrates

The actual properties of UV/EB cured products also depend on the selection of other formulation components, such as additives and photoinitiators, as well as curing conditions.

Applications & Uses

Cure Method
Recommended Uses & Known Applications

Formulated UV/EB curable products containing UCECOAT 7200 are typically applied by spray, spin coating, dip coating, curtain coating and common roll-toroll coating processes. Additional methods may also be used.

UCECOAT 7200 is recommended for use in energy cured protective hardcoats for:

  • Consumer electronics (casing & display)
  • Optical film
  • Metallized plastics
Formulation Suggestions

It is always recommended to stir UCECOAT 7200 prior to use. After prolonged storage, the product can settle and may require agitation to redisperse. UCECOAT 7200 can be further diluted with water. Further formulation with additives and/or blending with other waterborne UV resins may require to adjust the pH of UCECOAT 7200 (before formulation) to neutrality by addition of a solution of sodium hydroxide or of an amine solution like triethylamine or Advantex.

If necessary, the coating appearance can benefit from the addition of an anticrater and wetting agent such as Tego Twin 4100, typically added at a concentration of 0.5 % in the wet formulation.

Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling

Protect the product from freezing. Care should be taken not to expose the product to high temperature conditions or direct sunlight. Containers should be kept closed and away from materials that react with water. Bacteriological contamination can occur if the product is stored for an extended period in a container which is not sufficiently sealed or clean. Storage and handling should be in stainless steel, amber glass, or amber polyethylene containers. After prolonged storage product can settle and may require agitation to re-disperse. This product is stable under normal conditions of handling and storage. Do not store this material under an oxygen free atmosphere. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
