Application of Cycloaliphatic Epoxy Resins in UV Curable Coatings/Inks
Due to increasingly stringent regulations on emission reduction, UV curing coatings are more accepted in regions such as Europe and North America. However, further development is needed in the Asia-Pacific and MEA (Middle East and Africa) regions. UV curing technology can be broadly divided into UV free radicals and UV cationic systems. Featuring excellent processing performance, UV cationic coatings have been widely applied in metal cans, coil steel and flexible packaging industries, which are mainly available in European and American markets.

Anhydride Curing of Alicyclic Epoxy Resin
Alicyclic epoxy resin is a kind of low molecular compound, which contains alicyclic epoxy group. It is not a polymer instead, but can produce a polymer with 3D structure and very excellent performance through reacting with curing agent. It boasts special performance thanks to its special structure (epoxy group is directly connected to the saturated alicyclic structure instead of being connected to the benzene ring through ether bond as bisphenol A epoxy resin).

The Main Advantages of Adhesives with Different Components
Adhesives, also known as binders, are non-metallic media materials that tightly connect one object to another. Adhesives occupy only a very thin layer of volume between the two bonded surfaces, but af...
