Essex Coatings finishes provide enhanced product performance. UV cured material has a dramatic advantage in solvent resistance, scratch resistance and higher crosslink density. Table 1 represents the overall advantage of UV compared to traditional finishing methods. This chart compares the physical properties of two different traditional water-borne materials to UV. Our UV prefinished goes beyond industry standard UV finishes and provides an unparalleled performance.
The physical properties of UV prefinished panels are significantly superior compared to traditional finishing methods, but not all UV finishes are the same. Essex Coatings’ finishes are tested according to ASTM standards as part of our ongoing quality control program.
