BYK-Chemie recently introduced two new products, NANOBYK-3600 and NANOBYK-3601, to the market to increase the scratch resistance and abrasion resistance of UV-cured coatings.
NANOBYK-3600 is an aqueous aluminum nanoparticle dispersion. Adding 0.5% to 5% of this product to the UV coating can significantly enhance the scratch resistance of the coating. NANOBYK-3601 is a dispersion of nano-aluminum particles in tripropylene glycol (TPGDA) for pure UV-curing coatings. It is also possible to significantly increase the film thickness by adding 0.5% to 5% of this product to the coating formulation. The mechanical properties.
These two kinds of products are jointly developed by BYK Chemicals and Nanophase Technology (NTC). Both parties hope to launch some new products within the year and improve other properties of coatings through nanotechnology.
