Ashland Specialty Chemical Company Develops Self-Initiating Radiation-Cured Resins for UV Coatings
Dublin, Ohio (USA) -- Ashland Specialty Chemical Company today announced it has developed patented technology to produce self-initiating radiation-cured resins for UV coatings. NOVACURE® radiation-cured resins are developed for use without the need for UV photoinitiators. Designed performance characteristics along with the elimination of photoinitiators make them suitable for a variety of traditional coating applications, including plastics, metal, wood, paper, automotive, flooring, packaging, and furniture. These unique properties may also provide benefits in a variety of new market applications.
The patented technology also provides expanded customization capabilities that allow for the production of resins to meet specific application performance requirements. Ashland currently has explored more than 150 individual resins in this product line.
The company’s Business Development Department together with the Research & Technology Innovation Department will present a technical paper on this new, innovative technology at the RadTech 2002 UV/EB Conference April 28 through May 1, 2002 in Indianapolis, Ind.
