Enhanced Performance and Value of UV-Cured Systems Using Functional Fillers

There are many reasons the formulator may want to use a filler, either to improve physical properties or to reduce cost, but in clear coatings there is not the luxury of choice open to other sectors of the coatings industry. Some areas where improvements may be required are
• Physical durability, improved scratch resistance and abrasion resistance
• Gloss reduction
• Anti-blocking
• Low shrinkage
• Reduced UV degradation, improved weathering
• Cost reduction
