As reported elsewhere (12), (13), the stability of the dispersed phase in a polymer matrix constitutes a challenge, especially when the dispersed phase and the matrix have different hydrophilicity and surface energy.
com UV/EB raw materials offered: Silane, silicone and metal-organic molecules for adhesion promotion and crosslinking; improved chemical resistance and corrosion protection; controlling hydrophobicity, hydrophilicity and oleophobicity; and rheological aids (for improving processing, dispersion, flow).
Impregum polyether makes this process easier because of its hydrophilicity.
