Suggested applications for ADDITOL® CPK include: paper upgrading, wood top-coats, hard-coats for plastics, overprint varnish...view more ADDITOL® CPK is a radical photoinitiator that can be used alone or in combination with other photoinitiators. It is used in formulations containing unsaturated materials such as acrylates, methacrylates, vinyls and unsaturated polyesters. With exposure to UV light, ADDITOL® CPK undergoes a photochemical reaction that generates radicals. These radicals will initiate polymerization through the unsaturated groups present in the system. Suggested applications for ADDITOL® CPK include: paper upgrading, wood top-coats, hard-coats for plastics, overprint varnishes, vinyl flooring, metal coatings, exterior applications, general coating applications where low yellowing is critical, and inks and pigmented coatings (in combination with other photoinitiators). view less | Request Sample |
| EBECRYL® P115 | Allnex | EBECRYL® P115 is a copolymerizable amine used as a hydrogen donor, or photoactivator, in ultraviolet light (UV) curable coatings and inks. When used in formulations in combination with a photosensitizer (e.g. ADDITOL® BP), EBECRYL® P115 provides rapid UV cure response in air by mitigating the effects of oxygen inhibition at the coating or ink surface. It has recommended levels are from 5 to 15% based on the total formulation, usually combined with 3-5% photosensitizer. EBECRYL® P115 is recommended as a reactive co-initiator in the following applications: overprint varnish...view more EBECRYL® P115 is a copolymerizable amine used as a hydrogen donor, or photoactivator, in ultraviolet light (UV) curable coatings and inks.

| EDAPLAN® LA 452 | Munzing Chemie | EDAPLAN® LA 452 is a yellow liquid wetting and leveling agent for aqueous systems. EDAPLAN® LA 452 reduces the surface tension of aqueous systems without increasing the foam formation. Thus substrate wetting, leveling and gloss are improved. EDAPLAN® LA 452 is free of silicone and has no adverse effects on recoatability. This additive is compatible with all common resin systems. Advantages of using EDAPLAN® LA 452 include gloss improvement and reduction of haze, prevention of surface defects like craters and Bénard cells, improvement of substrate wetting, no increase in foam, and good recoatability. Main application areas include architectural coatings, wood and furniture coatings, automotive OEM and repair coatings, industrial coatings, and printing inks and overprint varnish...view more EDAPLAN® LA 452 is a yellow liquid wetting and leveling agent for aqueous systems.

| LAROMER® EA 9101 | BASF Dispersions & Resins | LAROMER EA 9101 is an epoxy acrylate oligomer for the formulation of energy curable inks and coatings, commonly used as a pigment wetting agent in offset applications. It exhibits moderate cure speed due to its average double bond density, but is a good crosslinker due to its high functionality. The medium double bond density makes it a prime choice as flexibiliser for hard, rigid films as for example for those based on bisphenol A epoxy diacrylate. The high flexibility supports substrate wetting with good flow and levelling and improves adhesion on polar metal surfaces. LAROMER EA 9101 is compatible with all mono- and multifunctional monomers as well as with all common polyester acrylates, epoxy acrylates and urethane acrylates. LAROMER EA 9101 is an important formulation component for UV/EB low migration inks and overprint varnish...view more LAROMER EA 9101 is an epoxy acrylate oligomer for the formulation of energy curable inks and coatings, commonly used as a pigment wetting agent in offset applications.
