This company now offers CN9030, a new difunctional aliphatic urethane acrylate. When paired with a corrosion-resistant base coat, CN9030 can be used to provide a weatherable topcoat in high-performance UV/EB-cure coating applications. This oligomer reportedly produces strong, flexible films and demonstrates adhesion to challenging substrates like metals and plastics.
When tested for adhesion, CN9030 reportedly does better than other epoxy and polyester acrylate oligomers on a variety of substrates, including aluminum, cold-rolled steel, tin-plated steel, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET). Its combination of strength and flexibility reportedly makes CN9030 ideal for coated metal used in outdoor applications, especially where resistance to yellowing and corrosion is needed.
