Vinyl Uv Coating

An increasingly important performance value for coated fabrics is ultraviolet uv light resistance.

Vinyl uv coating.

13 and 18 ounce vinyl banner for indoor and outdoor use. Uv coating the uv is short for ultraviolet is a clear compound that can be applied to plain or printed paper or other substrates including plastic glass wood and even some metals but we ll only refer to paper. Uv coating or ultraviolet coating is a very glossy shiny liquid coating applied to a printed paper surface and cured on a printing press or special machine using ultraviolet light. Photo degradation is a process whereby the polymer chains in the product break.

Liquid forms of uv curing systems are solvent free require low energy for curing and are adaptable to most conventional coating methods. Vmox is particularly suitable as a reactive diluent in uv curing inks and coatings which can for example be used for digital uv printing. With vinyl methyl oxazolidinone vmox basf offers a new vinyl monomer in commercial quantities. Employing either radical or cationic curing mechanisms the crosslinking of these coatings is initiated by means of uv light.

The coating hardens or cures when it is exposed to the ultra violet radiation. What is uv coating. In these applications the vinyl monomer has many technical benefits compared to conventional reactive diluents and allows innovative coatings formulations.
