With the concept of low-carbon, green and environmental protection becoming more and more in-depth in people’s lives, the chemical industry, which has always been criticized by people in terms of environmental protection, is also actively self-adjusting. In this tide of transformation, UV monomer resin curing technology has become A new environmentally friendly technology is also ushering in a historic opportunity for development.
In the 1960s, Germany first introduced UV monomer resin coatings for wood coating. Since then, UV monomer resin curing technology has gradually expanded from a single substrate of wood to paper, various plastics, metals, The coating application of stone, even cement products, fabrics, leather and other substrates. The appearance of processed products has also developed from the initial high-gloss type to the matte type, pearl type, bronzing type, texture type, etc. to meet different needs.
Resin curing technology uses ultraviolet light (UV monomer resin) or electron beams as energy sources to trigger a chemically active liquid formulation to achieve a rapid reaction curing process on the surface of the substrate. Because the ingredients in its formula, such as UV monomer resin resin, all participate in the curing reaction, and no volatile harmful substances are discharged into the atmosphere, its low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and no VOC emission technical advantages have attracted the attention of all countries in the world. The research and application of UV monomer resin curing technology began in the 1970s, and rapid development was achieved in the 1990s. According to relevant statistics, the output of my country’s UV monomer resin curing coatings (UV monomer resin coatings) is about 200,000 tons, and the output value is about 8.3 billion yuan, an increase of 24.7% over 2007. The product line involves bamboo and wood coatings, paper coatings, PVC coatings, plastic coatings, motorcycle coatings, home appliance coatings (3C coatings), metal coatings, mobile phone coatings, CD coatings, stone coatings, architectural coatings, etc. The total output of UV monomer resin ink in 2008 was about 20,000 tons, and it successfully penetrated into the fields of offset printing, gravure printing, embossing, silk printing, flexo printing, etc., which were originally highly polluting solvent-based ink domains.
Although UV monomer resin curing technology has excellent technical advantages, more and more domestic manufacturers have begun to turn to the development of UV monomer resin curing technology. However, through industry observations, the marketing level of UV monomer resin companies is higher than that of traditional solvent-based resins. Of companies still have a very large gap. We can often see some marketing strategies of traditional coatings and ink companies on TV, the Internet, newspapers and other media, but rarely see companies in the field of UV monomer resin curing have such ideas and handwriting, which is undoubtedly not conducive to the industry Fast and healthy development.
