12011 Modified Acrylate for High-Performance UV Glass Primer Coatings
Glass is one of the most challenging substrates in UV coating applications due to its smooth, non-porous surface and demanding durability requirements. EVER RAY 12011 Modified Acrylate has been developed to address these challenges by delivering excellent adhesion, low shrinkage, and long-term stability under harsh environmental conditions.
Unlike conventional epoxy acrylates, 12011 offers improved interfacial bonding with glass and better resistance to moisture, thermal cycling, and yellowing, making it suitable for both decorative and functional coating systems.
Key Features
✔ Excellent adhesion to glass substrates
✔ Low curing shrinkage and reduced internal stress
✔ Outstanding transparency and optical clarity
✔ Good yellowing resistance
✔ Compatible with silane coupling agents such as A-174 and A-187
✔ Suitable for UV LED and conventional mercury lamp curing systems
✔ Supports both single-curing and UV + thermal dual-curing processes
Typical Applications
Decorative Glass Coatings
Provides durable adhesion and high transparency for decorative and architectural glass panels.
Home Appliance Glass Panels
Suitable for kitchen appliances, refrigerator panels, oven doors, and smart home displays requiring long-term durability.
UV Glass Printing Primers
Improves ink adhesion and resistance to moisture and cleaning agents.
Functional Protective Coatings
Used in industrial glass applications requiring chemical resistance and enhanced environmental stability.
Premium Packaging Glass
Ideal for cosmetic bottles, luxury beverage packaging, and decorative glass containers.
Why Boiling Water Resistance Matters
Modern glass coating systems increasingly require resistance to:
- Hot water exposure
- Steam environments
- Humidity aging
- Thermal shock cycles
- Household cleaning chemicals
To achieve excellent boil-water resistance, formulators typically combine:
- High-performance modified acrylate resins
- Silane coupling agents (1–2% A-174 or A-187 recommended)
- Optimized photoinitiator packages
- Optional thermal post-curing processes
The combination of these technologies significantly enhances long-term adhesion and durability.
Recommended Formulation Strategy
For demanding glass applications, Ever Ray recommends:
- EVER RAY 12011 Modified Acrylate as the primary oligomer
- A-174 silane coupling agent at 1–2%
- UV LED curing at 395 nm
- Optional thermal post-cure (100–120°C) for maximum hydrolytic resistance
This approach helps achieve excellent adhesion retention after humidity and boiling water testing.
