SARTOMER TO RELEASE NEW
INNOVATIONS FOR ENHANCING
SUSTAINABLE ENERGY CURING
TECHNOLOGY
Sartomer, part of the Coating Solutions segment of Arkema,
introduced new developments it says will improve the
performance of UV/LED/excimer- and EB-cured materials at
the RadTech Europe online event October 19-20, 2021.
" We are once again eager to participate in RadTech Europe
to introduce our most recent resins and photoinitiators for
energy-curable systems, " says Magdalena Doherty, General
Manager at Sartomer EMEA. " In addition to discussing
innovative offerings that enable exceptional freedom of
performance design, our scientists are presenting on the
latest technological developments for UV, LED, excimer and
EB curing. "
These introductions include:
* SARBIO high-performance acrylate oligomer and
monomer resins based on renewable raw materials, to
help customers meet sustainability goals.
* Structured urethane acrylate resins, a new class of
acrylated urethane oligomers to help enhance and
expand end properties of cured materials.
* New specialty low-migration photoactive liquid
resin designed for indirect food contact applications.
Recommended for flexible packaging, direct to pack,
labels and folded carton and board. A new formulation
approach using such photoactive acrylate via inclusion of
photoinitiating moieties into the resin backbone will be
introduced.
* New LED-curable liquid thioxanthone photoinitiator
Speedcure LTX that enables high photoinitiator/
resin compatibility and provides better solubility than
traditional solid photoinitiators. It is particularly suitable
for low-viscosity applications.
* Specialty oligomers and monomers for UV/LED/EB- and
excimer-curable coatings. Performance advantages
of this technology include special surface effects such
as ultra-gloss or matte effect. These materials are
recommended for automotive, construction, flooring and
other demanding consumer goods applications.
* Resins to enhance dielectric performance of conformal
coatings, which are thin, transparent polymeric coatings
applied to the surface of printed circuit boards and
other electronic components. These resins provide
performance advantages including protection from
the end-use environment, adhesion to substrates and
electronic components, low dielectric loss and improved
mechanical properties.
* N3xtDimension building blocks and additives for UVcurable
3D printing, a toolbox of specialty oligomers,
monomers, cationic resins and photoinitiators, as well
as the possibility to tailor-make solutions to customers'
specific needs. A focus on the development of easier
characterization methods for elasticity and evaluation of
new elastomer materials will be introduced.

INTERPON CREATES METALLIC-EFFECT
FINISH IT SAYS RIVALS CHROME PLATING
AkzoNobel's Interpon brand says it has created a powder
coating that delivers the style and appearance of chrome
plating.
Interpon Cr provides a sustainable alternative that is
free from VOCs and produces no hazardous waste. With a
simplified finishing process, customers can quickly and easily
produce a brilliant metallic-effect finish that is less harmful

components and fittings, lighting, leisure equipment, retail
displays and small household appliances, the powder coating
is applied in a two-step process which does not require any
additional preparation steps, such as grinding and polishing.
As a result, users are able to reduce costs compared to
traditional chrome plating, Interpon says.
Daniela Vlad, Managing Director of Powder Coatings
at AkzoNobel, says the new powder coating provides the
reliability and performance professionals need.
" The Interpon Cr Basecoat and Clearcoat system provides
resistance to corrosion and staining, as well as the durability
to protect products from all life can throw at them, " she says.
" Designers can now achieve a bright metallic effect, even
on the more challenging shapes and angles, and have the
comfort of knowing the product they are using is better for
the environment and more sustainable in every sense. "
