ImerCure™ X10
The novel near-nanosize mineral additive for UV-cured clear coatings
ImerCure™ X10 brings an innovative combination of properties to radiation-cured coatings.
The specially engineered particle size makes it ideally suited to clear coatings, giving no loss of optical transmission and clarity. But the true benefits of ImerCure™ X10 are its matting effect and improvement in coating mechanical properties.
ImerCure™ X10 provides:
Matting and gloss control
Improved mechanical properties
Cost reduction through binder extension
Excellent optical properties
Little effect on viscosity
No impact on surface smoothness
Specially designed for UV-cured clear coatings
ImerCure™ X10 - is a natural mineral allowing cost and carbon footprint reduction
ImerCure™ X10 effectively reduces gloss in UV coatings at all film thicknesses, while at the same time imparting improved hardness, strength and flexibility. It shows no impact on surface smoothness and optical properties such as transmission and clarity, and has little effect on formulation viscosity. Cost reduction by replacement of binder is therefore also possible.
Supplied as an easy-to-disperse powder, ImerCure™ X10 is suitable for use in all UV-cured coating systems.
