Drytac introduces a new flexible UV curable liquid coating
Thursday 06. August 2009 - Drytac, a leader in liquid coating technology introduces a new UV curable clear coat for use on applications requiring maximum flexibility.
InstaCure SuperFlex is a high gloss coating that is flexible enough to form around rivets and stretch into compound and complex curves, it is also thermo-formable.
Tests show that InstaCure SuperFlex has the ability to stretch up to six times its original size, allowing manufacturers of fleet and vehicle graphics to benefit from the low cost and high speed applications made possible with high UV curable liquid coaters.
INSTACure SuperFlex contains a proprietary blend of acrylate and non yellowing urethane UV curable polymers to give coated prints flexibility. The coating develops a tough exterior finish that is scratch and abrasion resistant and able to withstand the rigors of commercial truck washes using standard commercial cleaners.
Says Jim Tatum, Drytacs liquid finishing division manager, “with coating costs as low as 6 cents per square foot and speeds of up to 60 linear feet per minute with our new roll to roll attachment, customers can now not only compete, but for the first time in a long time, make significant profits in this industry with this product application”
