Glass is one of the most challenging substrates in UV coating applications due to its smooth, non-porous surface and demanding durability requirements. EVER RAY 12011 Modified Acrylate has been developed to address these challenges by delivering excellent adhesion, low shrinkage, and long-term stability under harsh environmental conditions.
Unlike conventional epoxy acrylates, 12011 offers improved interfacial bonding with glass and better resistance to moisture, thermal cycling, and yellowing, making it suitable for both decorative and functional coating systems.
Provides durable adhesion and high transparency for decorative and architectural glass panels.
Suitable for kitchen appliances, refrigerator panels, oven doors, and smart home displays requiring long-term durability.
Improves ink adhesion and resistance to moisture and cleaning agents during UV glass printing.
Used in industrial glass applications requiring chemical resistance and enhanced environmental stability.
Ideal for cosmetic bottles, luxury beverage packaging, and decorative glass containers.
Modern glass coating systems increasingly require resistance to:
To achieve excellent boil-water resistance, formulators typically combine:
For demanding glass applications, the recommended approach is:
Use 12011 Modified Acrylate as the primary oligomer paired with A-174 silane coupling agent at 1–2% dosage.
Cure using UV LED at 395 nm, followed by an optional thermal post-cure (100–120°C) for maximum hydrolytic resistance.
