Lumicryl 101S

Lumicryl 101S is a UV/EB-curable acrylic macromer suitable for formulating coatings and inks for application on film, laminate, plastic, metal, wood, paper or other substrates. Cured coatings based on Lumicryl 101S have excellent abrasion, scratch and chemical resistance. Lumicryl 101S can be used to formulate clear, pigmented or highly filled systems. Coatings utilizing Lumicryl 101S may be applied using conventional application equipment such as roller, spray, flexo, gravure, screen and others. Formulations based on Lumicryl 101S will dry to a tack-free, dry-to-touch, film after the solvent is flashed off. The dried, but uncured, coating remains in a thermoplastic state and can undergo intermediate processing such as stamping, forming, transfer laminating, thermal transfer, sanding, and re-coating prior to UV curing. The addition of common photoinitiators during the formulating stage is generally sufficient to afford rapid cure of the coating after solvent removal.
