To meet the increasing environmental awareness and market demand for high-performance hardcoats with low VOCs,Cytec Industries Inc.is unveiling its new UCECOAT™ 7200 waterborne ultraviolet-curable resin (WBUV) with outstanding hardcoat performance properties and unique high solid content at Booth #1600.

 Cytec’s new UCECOAT 7200 is based on a novel, proprietary WBUV technology that enables formulators to develop a solvent-free UV hardcoat for spray application. Its good direct adhesion to plastics makes it a perfect choice for general industrial plastics application.

“UCECOAT 7200 is able to meet the consumer electronics market need for a reduced carbon footprint through its non-hazardous, low-emission, solvent-free sprayable coating without compromise inhardcoat performance. This product is a breakthrough in high solids content with excellent colloid stability as well as outstanding hardness performance when compared with current WBUV products in the market,” said Dr. Mouhcine Kanouni, Global Marketing Manager.

Mouhcine added, “UCECOAT 7200 will also enable current users of WBUV resins to use this product as a booster to increase solid content and improve hardness in their coating formulation.”
