Sartomer Europe is launching PRO22019, a new polyester acrylate specifically developed to provide enhanced adhesion on to a wide variety of plastic substrates. The composition of PRO22019 allows the customer to formulate UV curable inks and coatings which meet the current regulatory standards applying to the food packaging sector.
Stringent regulatory constraints apply to certain sectors of the UV industry, in particular relating to the use of UV inks and coatings for food packaging. It is therefore necessary for the formulator to address this aspect as well as the fundamental requirements for high adhesion, reactivity and surface hardness.
The new PRO22019 offers:
- Excellent adhesion to a wide range of plastic substrates
- Superior cure response with both UV and LED systems
- Hard cured films demonstrating improved scratch resistance
- Low yellowing
- Full compliance towards existing food packaging regulations
for the formulation of high performance UV curable inks and coatings
