UCECOAT® 7999

UCECOAT® 7999 by allnex is a bio-based, energy curable, low-viscous, high-performance polyurethane dispersion. It is made from renewable feedstocks and contains ~22% biocarbon certified by ASTM D6866. It contributes to a reduction of the material carbon footprint of >500 g of carbon dioxide per kg of dry product. It possesses good adhesion, superior protection and low MFFT that does not require the use of additional coalescing agents. It is characterized by a good colloidal stability alone or in the presence of pigments and additives. It is tack-free after water evaporation and before cure. It shows good reactivity upon radiation curing. It offers an excellent chemical and mechanical resistance but keeps also some flexibility resulting in good dimensional stability. It can be easily applied by spray, gravure, flexography, screen, curtain or immersion methods. It is a solvent-, tin- and APEO-free resin developed as a high-end binder for water-based clear and pigmented coatings. It is used in natural or coated wood and other substrates including plastics, PVC flooring, paper & paperboard, leather and textile or concrete. The shelf life of UCECOAT® 7999 is one year.
