Everlight Chemicals in Taiwan has brought out a UV absorber intended specifically for waterborne radiation-curing systems: "Eversorb AQ7". The product ensures effective protection against damage caused by UV radiation, improves gloss retention and prevents changes in colour. The absorber is very easy to stir into waterborne coating systems, making it suitable even for equipping systems at a later stage, for example via dispensers. Tests have confirmed that UV curing of the systems is not impaired. The energy required for curing remains unchanged even with high doses of the UV absorber. Triconor Distribution GmbH DE-Coesfeld
