Key Advantages
1. Contains UV‑reactive functional groups and participates in film crosslinking curing, reduces migration‑blooming risk.
2. Optimises levelling of UV films, delivers slip hand‑feel and enhances scratch‑resistance.
3. Good compatibility with UV acrylic monomers and oligomers.
4. Works for matte & glossy UV systems, fits printing and wood‑UV scenarios.
5. Low tendency of post‑curing blooming, favours long‑term finished‑product performance.
