Laromer LR 8981 Polyester acrylate BASF Acrylic Resins >> Polyester Acrylic Coatings >> UV / Radiation Curing Printing Inks & Varnishes Wood & Furniture Coatings Plastic coating Other industry >> Paper coatings Soluble in all common paint solvents Insoluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons Laromer LR 8981 is intended for the manufacture of radiation-curing varnishes for wood, wood products, plastics, paper and printing inks. Medium-viscosity liquid Polyester acrylate Laromer LR 8981 is completely miscible with most reactive acrylic resins, including other Laromer resins. Laromer LR 8981 is a highly reactive polyester acrylate that can be used either alone or in combination with other radiation-curable resins for making UV- and EB-curing varnishes for coating wood, paper and plastics. Cured coatings based on Laromer LR 8981 exhibit very good flexibility and abrasion resistance. Laromer LR 8981 also exhibits particularly good sandability, making it very suitable as a roller primer. Medium-viscosity, highly reactive polyester acrylate. Used alone or in combination with other radiation-curable resins for making UV- and EB-curing varnishes for wood, wood products, plastics, paper and printing inks. Gives complete miscibility with most reactive acrylic resins, very good flexibility and abrasion resistance, and particularly good sandability.
