DSM Desotech’s UVention™ group custom-formulates UV/EB coatings to meet specialized performance requirements. By synthesizing our own oligomers with unique structures not commonly available to the marketplace, new combinations of properties are possible. The use of nano-technology also increases options for enhanced coating performance in targeted applications.
Below is a sampling of coating properties for highly specialized market applications.
| Mechanical Properties | Coatings with desired performance in: hardness, flexibility, toughness, crack resistance, impact resistance, and low shrinkage. |
| Surface Properties | Coatings with scratch-, mar-, and abrasion-resistance. Functional coatings with anti-fogging, anti-fouling, and easy or self-cleaning surfaces. |
| Adhesion Properties | Coatings optimized for adhesion to challenging substrates. |
| Optical Properties | Appearances ranging from glossy to matt; many colors and special optical decorative effects. Options for transparency and opacity, anti-reflective and high reflective coatings. |
| Corrosion Resistance | Coatings providing corrosion resistance to salt spray, acidified salt spray, filiform corrosion, and CASS corrosion for metal substrates. |
| Flame Retardancy | Coatings formulated to pass UL1581 and UL94 flammability tests. |
| Chemical Resistance | Coatings with oil, solvent, acid, and alkaline resistance. |
| Stability and Aging | Coatings with heat resistance, hydrolytic and light stability, and excellent weatherability. |
| Electrical Properties | Conductive/dielectric, anti-static coatings. |
