NANOMYTE® UVP-100
NANOMYTE® UVP-100 is a two-component liquid coating that provides UV protection and abrasion resistance to plastic substrates. The coating composition comprises of highly efficient UV-absorbing ingredient that essentially blocks 90% of UV radiation with wavelength < 375 nm. The coating forms a highly transparent, ceramic-like hard surface that is needed in a variety of industrial and consumer applications. UVP-100 is thermally cured and can be applied on surfaces using standard coating processes, such as dip-coating, spray coating, and spin-coating.

- Coating Application
It is recommended that coating application be performed in a clean environment to minimize surface defects. To make the coating solution, combine Part A and Part B at 9/1 weight ratio and mix well by stirring briefly. The coating may be applied by spraying, dipping, flowing, brushing or rolling. For spraying, an HVLP spray gun with a nozzle size of <1.0 mm is recommended; and the pressure should be set at approximately 25 to 30 psi. The induction time for spray application is 30 min, i.e., wait at least 30 minutes after mixing before coating application. For other application methods, it is recommended to age the mixed solution for at least 16 hours to obtain a highly transparent coating. For Best Performance : Although the mixed coating solution is stable indefinitely, it is recommended to use the solution within 72 hours after mixing for best results.
- Surface Preparation
Ensure surfaces to be coated are clean and dry and apply a primer if necessary. NEI supplies two primers for polymer substrates: SRP-50 for PMMA and SRP-51 for PC. The primer may be applied by dipping, flowing, spinning, rolling or spraying. For spraying, an HVLP spray gun with a nozzle size of <1.0 mm is recommended, and the pressure should be set at approximately 25 to 30 psi. A single pass of spraying is recommended for the primer. The primed parts should be dried at 80ºC for 10 min before application of NANOMYTE® UVP-100.
- Available Quantities
NANOMYTE® UVP-100 is a 2-part coating, sold in liter or gallon kit quantities.
- Storage and Handling
Precautions for Safe Handling Appropriate personal protective equipment should be used at all times. Provide good ventilation or extraction. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Avoid inhalation of vapor or mist. Keep away from heat, sparks, flames and other sources of ignition. No smoking. Take measures to prevent the build-up of electrostatic charge. Conditions for Safe Storage For best coating performance, keep Parts A and B unmixed until ready to use. Keep containers tightly sealed and store in a dry and cool area. Opened containers must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage. Keep away from sources of ignition. Part A may form explosive peroxides on prolonged storage.
