Cytec Introduces A New UV curable Polyurethane Dispersion for Outstanding High Gloss Mirror Effect on Wood Furniture and Plastics

Brussels ? December 7, 2010 ? Cytec Industries Inc. (NYSE:CYT) launches UCECOAT^® 7710, an innovative new aliphatic UV-PUD resin for high gloss mirror effect.

Due to this characteristic, this unique material opens new possibilities for clear topcoats on wood furniture and plastic substrates. This UV curable resin distinguishes itself through its high solids content, excellent hardness and scratch resistance. In addition, UCECOAT 7710 allows for easy finishing as no sanding is required to achieve the high gloss mirror effect.

‘Our customers will not only appreciate the very distinct finish that it provides, but as well its strong benefits compared to other existing materials for high gloss mirror effect on wood and plastics. In all our tests, UCECOAT 7710 clearly showed best-in-class performance,’ says Philippe Vanvolsum, Global Marketing Manager UV/EB Curable Resins & Additives.
