• UV Paints (solvent based or 100% solid)

“UV coatings” are special paints formulated with polymeric binders with “unsaturated chemical bonds” that polymerize via a “radical” chemical reaction launched by specific photo-activators triggered by ultraviolet light radiation at particular wavelengths.

These polymers have excellent diffusion since they guarantee super short drying times, in some cases a few seconds from the applications (they are therefore ideal where high productivity is required) plus they are characterized by low solvent emissions (there can be 100% solid) and by high filling properties (high coverage, with no shrinking).

The range of solvent-based UV coatings, which also includes 100% solid content products) of ASTRA VERNICI incorporates:

• UV-FOND: clear and pigmented UV basecoats, also dual-cure kind
• UV-FIN: clear and pigmented UV finishes, also dual-cure kind
