How to Reduce the Effect of Oxygen Inhibition
A large portion of UV-curing formulations cure through a free radical curing process. In this process, UV waves from a light source trigger a photoinitiator to release free radicals.
UV Formulations Introduction
The need for increased productivity, regulatory concerns, and improved product performance continue to push companies towards evaluating UV-curable technology.
Oligomers Formulation Overview
Oligomers are molecular complexes that make up polymers, each with varying characteristics and properties.
Photoinitiators Formulation Overview
Photoinitiators are the final step in the formulation process and can be supplemented with compounds like photosensitizers and co-initiators that enhance properties.
Yellowing & Color Change in Oligomers
In some oligomer and coating applications, high color or yellowing of a material can cause distortion of intended color on a part or result in an unappealing aesthetic.
Additives Formulation Overview
Additives are materials that allow for the fine tuning of a formulation and to impart properties or cosmetic effects that can't be achieved with only oligomers & monomers.
3 Steps to Soft-Feel Formulations
Oligomers provide a solid backbone for the formulation of coatings used throughout the graphics arts, consumer electronics, and automotive industries.
Monomers Formulation Overview
Monomers can help to narrow oligomer characteristics to create a more specific formula development.
