The UV-curable coatings market is poised for growth, driven by sustainability trends, UV LED curing innovations, and applications in automotive and electronics, among other drivers. 

This article discusses new developments in water-based UV-curable polyurethanes that offer much-improved 50 °C paint stability in clear, as well as pigmented coatings. It also discusses how these resins address the desired attributes of the coating applicator in increasing line speed through fast water release, improved block resistance, and solvent resistance off the line.

The new appointments will succeed former CEO David Nislick and former CFO Jim Rao, who have announced their retirements.

The new TEGO Rad 2330 is designed for use in a wide range of inks and varnish applications as well as clear and pigmented wood coatings. 

According to the announcement, the laboratory expands Keyland’s global capabilities of UV resin research and development, production, and sales of UV-cured solid resins.
