New UV9200* Silicone from GE Raises the Bar for Low-Viscosity UV-Cure Polymers Used in Converting Applications

GE’s New UV9200* Silicone

GE’s new non-volatile UV9200* silicone is an excellent candidate for direct gravure, offset gravure, and flexo coating techniques. The new silicone’s low viscosity permits even deposition at reduced coat weight, which may translate into reduced materials costs for customers, potentially enabling them to use coating equipment already on the factory floor without the need for expensive upgrades. New UV9200 silicone may also enhance the manufacture of release films where its excellent flowout performance delivers good coverage with low coat weight. Used in epoxysilicone formulas, UV9200 silicone can also help improve optical clarity in clear films. BERGEN OP ZOOM, THE NETHERLANDS — May 19, 2005 — GE Advanced Materials has added a new and unique grade – UV9200* epoxysilicone – to its growing family of UV-cure products, targeting applications in the converting industry. GE’s UV9200 material is among the lowest viscosity reactive silicones available for radiation-cure coating applications.
