Coalescence and Film Formation Properties of Aqueous UV-Curable PUDs and Oligomers Prior to UV Light Exposure

Ronald Obie, Wood Coatings Research Group

Abstract: This paper describes coalescence, film formation, dry, and physical properties of aqueous UV-curable PUDs and oligomers before UV-light exposure. Results are presented as a function of UV-curable polymer/oligomer. Further, impact of addition of Nepheline Syenite mineral on film formation, dry, and physical properties of the pre-cured oligomer is presented.
