  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.

  UV curable resin for optics / coatings

  In these days, digital devices such as smartphones and personal computers have become one of the indispensable infrastructures. Optical films are essential components for improving visibility and saving energy, and UV curable resins and coatings are one of the main materials. In addition to hardness, new needs such as abrasion resistance and flexibility are required due to the shift to touch screens in automotive displays and the increase in foldable displays.
  
  DIC is an early started manufacturer in the field of UV resins for optical films in Japan and has a history of more than 20 years. Based on various resin synthetic technologies, we have responded to customer needs by grasping information accurately in the fast-moving digital device industry and working on product development quickly. Our another strength is to provide a product lineup of not only resins but coatings by utilizing the formulation and dispersion technologies cultivated in printing inks field. We will continue to propose solutions to a wide variety of issues beyond existing applications.
