Novel Approaches to Improve Scratch and Abrasion Resistance in UV Coatings

摘要

The study provides an overview of comparable technologies to improve scratch and abrasion resistance of UV-curable coatings. The results showed that slip additives perform best in this study, with Slip 496 giving the best overall performance. Following the slip additives are the nanocomposites, with NC 153 showing the best performance.This study also demonstrates that scratch resistance performance can vary significantly, depending on which method is used. Often there is not a common improved performance across every scratch test.
