Portfolio of Energy-Curable Coatings Launched
PPG's DuraNEXT portfolio includes EB and UV curable coatings, offering rapid, energy-efficient solutions for metal coil coaters.
The PPG (Pittsburgh, Pa.) Duranext portfolio of electron-beam (EB) and UV curable backers, primers, basecoats and clearcoats offer energy efficiency and high speed of energy curing for metal coil coaters.
The coatings use an electron beam or UV energy to convert a liquid coating into a fully cured solid finish in seconds.
The portfolio includes backers available in both UV and EB formulations to accommodate various application equipment setups. These can be applied over a primer or used as a direct-to-metal application.
UV primer can be used under an EB topcoat or with a conventional thermal cure topcoat. These primers could also be used in conjunction with a wet-on-wet applied topcoat and cured with EB in a single pass.
