UV curable coatings have applications across diverse industries. For example, within the electronics industry, UV coatings are used to keep moisture, dust, and other contaminants out of printed circuit board (PCB) and flexible printed circuit (FPC) electrodes. UV light sources and their intensities also play a significant role in curing and through-curing of thick or pigmented coating. Other applications include coatings for wood, plastics, and metals.

At Toagosei America, we offer a range of products for use in UV coatings. Regardless of your material needs, we can work with you to develop a custom UV formulation that fits your unique application conditions.

Benefits of Industrial UV Coatings

Toagosei America can deliver quality raw materials for UV coating formulations that deliver the following benefits:

  • Productivity. Industrial UV coatings cure in seconds rather than minutes or hours.
  • Regulatory Concerns. Industrial UV coatings are considered environmentally friendly. In most cases, they do not use solvents or produce harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
  • Lower Overall Cost. These coatings are 100% solids, have faster cure speeds, and can be recycled to reduce waste. This results in a lower overall cost per cured part.
  • Smaller Equipment Footprint. UV curing can be easily adapted to existing lines because it requires much less floor space compared to conventional curing.
  • Energy Costs. Industrial UV curing systems consume less energy compared to conventional drying ovens or curing systems.
  • Single Component Formulas. UV coatings are single component formulations, eliminating the need to measure and mix before use. This prevents mixing errors commonly seen with two-component systems.

Industrial UV Coating Applications

Our UV coating products can be used for a variety of applications and industries, including:

Automotive

UV-curable coatings are commonly used in the manufacture of various automotive components. Toagosei America can supply raw materials to companies who produce UV coatings for automotive applications such as:

  • Headlight lens coatings
  • Dashboard instrument panels and displays
  • Touch screens
  • Door components
  • Consoles
  • Control buttons and knobs
  • Aftermarket auto repair coatings (e.g., UV epoxy primers, body fillers, specialty products, fine putty)

These coatings can reduce glare, improve wear or scratch resistance, prevent fogging, and enhance chemical resistance.

Electronics

Applying UV conformal coatings like Aronix® UVX-5800 to sensitive electronic components creates a sealed, hydrophobic layer of protection to prevent harm and increase their lifespan. Our Aronix® UVX-5800 UV conformal coating offers good adhesion to polyimide and works well for protecting flexible printed circuits (FPCs). Once exposed to the right frequency of UV light, Aronix® UVX-5800 cures completely within seconds and provides long-term insulation reliability by preventing short circuits.
