UV Curable Coating Quality Equipment
Manufacturers seeking to enhance their production efficiency find that UV curable coating solutions deliver unmatched speed and consistency. Unlike traditional thermal-cure methods, UV Pro coatings eliminate lengthy drying times and reduce operational costs. The instant curing process minimizes handling damage and allows for immediate quality inspection, streamlining your entire manufacturing workflow. These advanced formulations provide superior optical clarity while maintaining excellent chemical resistance, making them ideal for demanding applications in medical devices, consumer electronics, and automotive components.
Our cutting-edge coatings are designed to protect, enhance, and extend product shelf life. Contact Exxene today for technical specifications, sample testing, or to discuss your project requirements. Contact Exxene to reduce your production costs while enhancing product performance.
Exxene offers 100% solids, UV light-curable variants of many of our thermal-cure offerings, including Hardcoat and antifog coatings. Products are high viscosity, VOC-free liquids that must be protected from light during storage.
Performance Characteristics
UV Pro coatings allow you to leverage the benefits associated with UV light curing technology. Coatings can be applied and cured in seconds or minutes, vastly increasing production output while reducing the energy costs and solvent exposure associated with thermal curing operations. All UV curable products adhere to plastic surfaces without a primer, forming a strong interpenetrating network between the coating and the substrate.
Application
All UV Pro coatings can be applied by dip, flow, spin, and spray methods. The coating liquids can be diluted with solvent, or reduced using an appropriate Reactive Diluent.
UV light curing systems vary in output capacity, and Exxene is available to assist operators in reviewing the appropriate curing options. We can provide the optimal ultraviolet energy and irradiance values for each coating on a variety of substrates. Qualified equipment suppliers are also available.
Frequently Asked Questions
UV curable coating products typically cure in seconds to minutes, depending on the substrate and UV light intensity, dramatically reducing production cycle times compared to thermal curing.
UV PRO Coatings
UV PRO 310 Hardcoat
A 100% solids, zero VOC liquid with a viscosity of 200 to 300 centistokes. UV Pro 310 cures to provide extreme hardness without cracking or crazing. The cured coating layer is highly resilient, providing maximum protection from scratches, abrasion, and chemicals when applied without dilution. The compatible diluents include alcohols, ketones, and reactive diluents.
UV PRO 550 ANTI-FOG
A 100% solids, zero VOC liquid with a viscosity of 350 to 500 centistokes. UV Pro 550 cures to produce a permanent, flexible, and mar resistant antifog coating on a variety of plastic substrates. The compatible diluents include alcohols and reactive diluents.
