Market demand and solutions for UV coatings for plastics

  In modern industrial production and daily life, the application of plastics is ubiquitous. However, plastic materials also face a series of challenges in many application scenarios. From the perspective of surface performance, the hardness of plastic surfaces is usually low and easily scratched, which is a major drawback in some application scenarios that require high wear resistance. For example, if the surface of electronic device casings is easily scratched, it not only affects the aesthetics but may also damage internal components.

  The application of traditional coating processing technology on plastic parts often has low efficiency, partly due to the long drying or curing process, and partly due to the easy occurrence of defects during the processing. The application of plastics is constantly moving towards high-performance requirements with the development of technology and human needs. In fields such as aerospace (where high temperature resistance, lightweight, and high strength of materials are required), traditional plastic processing methods are difficult to meet high-performance demands.

   In the context of such industry demand, high-performance coating materials have become the key to solving these difficulties. UV coatings have great advantages in curing speed compared to traditional coatings due to their ability to quickly cure upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation. However, ordinary UV coatings face challenges in adhesion, flexibility, and other performance aspects when combined with high-performance plastics, which has prompted the research and development needs of UV coatings for high-performance plastics.

  Since its research and development, UV coatings for high-performance plastics have focused on overcoming the shortcomings of ordinary UV coatings in processing high-performance plastics and leveraging more advantages. The specific manifestations are as follows:

  1. In terms of adhesion. It has excellent performance. Whether it is hard engineering plastics such as polycarbonate (PC) or flexible polyethylene (PE), high-performance coatings can be firmly attached to plastic surfaces through special formula design, effectively avoiding coating peeling during use.

  2. In terms of wear resistance. High performance UV coatings form a hard and wear-resistant protective film on the surface by optimizing the molecular structure and composition, greatly extending the service life of plastic products.

  3. In terms of flexibility. Coatings can adapt well without cracking or peeling even when plastic products are deformed.

  Whether facing weakly acidic, weakly alkaline substances or some organic solvents, Zhanxin Company's coatings can protect plastics stably for a long time, ensuring that they can be used normally in specific chemical storage containers, plastic pipe fittings in industrial production, etc. They have good weather resistance and can effectively protect the surface of plastics from corrosion or aging under extreme weather conditions such as high temperature exposure, high humidity, or severe cold.
