Cytec Launches EBECRYLŽ 891
Resin for UV On-Site Concrete Coatings
New UV Resin Provides Fast Curing and Durability for Concrete
Topcoats
Woodland Park, NJ – January 26, 2009 – Cytec Industries Inc.
(NYSE: CYT) announced today it has launched the EBECRYLŽ 891
resin, a UV curable acrylate specifically developed for on-site
or field applied applications on concrete flooring.
The new modified polyester acrylate provides a good balance of
properties required to protect concrete flooring—viscosity,
abrasion resistance, and cure speed.
When formulated with Cytec’s other EBECRYL UV curable resin
systems, more specific properties can also be achieved,
including toughness, adhesion, and chemical resistance.
On-site or field applied UV coatings is a fast emerging
technology capable of helping manufacturing plants, warehouses,
and other facilities meet environmental regulations, decrease
downtime, and reduce labor and maintenance costs.
It involves formulating UV curable coatings, and using the new
generation of on-site UV curing equipment to apply single or
multiple coats which cure instantly, and allow coated surfaces
to be
put back in service immediately.
The EBECRYLŽ 891 resin was developed at Cytec’s Field Applied
Lab, a state-of-the-art laboratory in Smyrna, GA, where
scientists are currently working on UV curable solutions for all
hard flooring substrates, including wood, vinyl, concrete and
tile flooring.
