FOCUS ON: Sartomer Polyester Acrylate Oligomers Sartomer Co. offers three polyester acrylate oligomers - CN2261LV, CN2264 and CN2282 - with good cure rates and abrasion resistance. CN2261LV was developed for UV-curable wood coatings that require hardness and abrasion resistance. CN2264 offers more flexibility than CN2261LV while maintaining hardness, abrasion resistance and an excellent cure rate. It is ideal for flexographic and screen inks, and wood, floor, and paper coatings. CN2282 is a tetrafunctional polyester acrylate oligomer for coatings, inks and adhesives that offers toughness and good flexibility, even with fast cure rates.
