UCECOAT® 2801

UCECOAT® 2801 is an acrylated polyurethane dispersion in water designed for waterborne UV/EB curable inkjet inks. UCECOAT® 2801 is anionic in nature, making it compatible with water without any external emulsifier. Due to the presence of these ionic groups, it is not stable under highly acidic conditions. UCECOAT® 2801 contains no co-solvent. UCECOAT® 2801 exhibits good properties concerning the jetting and water resolubility before cure which are key requirements for inkjet application. UCECOAT® 2801 provides hardness in the polymerized coating along with good stain and chemical resistance.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • The recommended storage temperature range for UCECOAT® 2801 is ≥4°C (39°F) to ≤40°C (104°F). Protect the product from freezing. Care should be taken not to expose the product to high temperature conditions or direct sunlight. Containers should be kept closed and away from materials that react with water. Bacteriological contamination can occur if the product is stored for an extended period in a container which is not sufficiently sealed or clean. Storage and handling should be in stainless steel, amber glass, or amber polyethylene containers. After prolonged storage product can settle and may require agitation to re-disperse. This product is stable under normal conditions of handling and storage. Do not store this material under an oxygen free atmosphere. Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
