Fluorinated Anti-smudge Additive
KY-1200 Series


KY-1200 Series are UV/EB curable fluorinated acrylic compounds. When small amounts of KY-1200 Series are added to UV/EB curable acrylic hard coatings, surface properties such as water/oil repellency and anti-smudge effect can be added or enhanced.

Features of KY-1200 Series

Anti-smudge

A smooth fluorinated layer is formed on the surface and prevents stains with dirt.
Removability of fingerprint

Persistent fingerprint can be removed easily by wiping.
Water and Oil repellency

Repels water/oil and keeps substances clean.
Low dynamic friction

Low friction makes wiping off easy and protects surfaces from scratches.
Functioning mechanism of anti-smudge additive
Applications
When small amount of KY-1203 is mixed with UV/EB curable compound, fluorinated chains are distributed on the outer surface, then anti-smudge, water/oil repellency, fingerprint removability and low dynamic friction are realized.
