UV-curable Resins for Coatings

Reducing CO2 emissions has been becoming a global issue for the realization of a carbon-free society. In recent years efforts to reduce VOCs and save energy have been active in the coating market as well. Compared to normal temperature / thermosetting resins, UV-curable resins are attracting attention as resins which contribute to sustainability because they reduce the consuming amount of solvent and improve the efficiency of the drying process. Since UV-curable resins can form a coating film with excellent appearance, hardness, and durability, they are used for various surface protection materials such as metals, general-purpose engineering plastics, and wood paints. They are also expected to replace thermosetting resins and to expand into new applications.

DIC has developed products that meet various required performances such as high hardness, high flexibility, scratch resistance, adhesion to hard-to-adhere substrates and soft feel so that our products are used in many plastic parts and optical materials. In recent years, in order to meet with stricter solvent usage regulations in respective country, we are also focusing on developing water-based UV-curable resins by utilizing various resin design technologies of DIC that we have cultivated past years. We propose solutions & products that meet customer needs with our wide range of knowledge and long experienced capabilities in order to solve various cases that arise toward the realization of sustainability.
