water-based uv resin is an important raw material for water-based uv coatings, and emulsion type and water dispersion type uv resin are its representative products.

water-based uv resin refers to uv resin whose molecules contain a certain number of strong hydrophilic groups and unsaturated groups and are soluble in water or dispersible with water. water-based uv resin has the advantages of hydrolysis resistance, environmental protection, acid and alkali resistance, adjustable viscosity, and high hardness. it is the core raw material of water-based uv ink and water-based uv coating. it is widely used in automobile manufacturing, construction engineering, electronic and electrical fields, etc.

there are a wide variety of water-based uv resins. according to different base materials, water-based uv resins can be divided into water-based polyester acrylates, water-based polyurethane acrylates and water-based epoxy acrylates; according to different forms of existence in water, water-based uv resins can be divided into water-soluble uv resins and emulsion-type uv resins. there are three categories: resin and water dispersion type uv resin. emulsion uv resin and water dispersion uv resin require a lower number of hydrophilic groups, have the advantages of fast curing speed, low organic volatiles, etc., and have a relatively high market share.

according to the “2023-2028 china waterborne uv resin industry market in-depth research and development prospects forecast report released by the industrial research center, water-based uv ink and water-based uv coating are water-based uv resin end products. in water-based uv inks, water-based uv resins can be used to produce water-based uv flexo printing inks, water-based uv screen printing inks, water-based uv gravure inks, water-based uv inkjet inks, etc.; in water-based uv coatings, water-based uv resins can be used to produce water-based uv metallic paint, water-based uv wood paint, etc. water-based uv wood paint is the mainstream product in the furniture coating market, accounting for nearly 20%. in the future, as the market demand for water-based uv coatings grows, the development speed of my country’s water-based uv resin industry will further accelerate.

in terms of application fields, water-based uv resin is widely used in automobile manufacturing, construction engineering, electronic and electrical fields and other fields. in the field of automobile manufacturing, water-based uv resin can be used in car painting and car surface repair processes; in the field of construction engineering, water-based uv resin can be used to process furniture and panels; in the field of electronics and electrical products, water-based uv resin can be used to process electronic product casings. benefiting from the expanding scope of applications, the market prospects for water-based uv resins continue to improve.

the major global manufacturers of water-based uv resin include of germany, allnex of germany, mitsui of japan, etc. in terms of the local market, the main players in my country’s water-based uv resin market include gaomeng new materials, ruisheng new materials, shangshui technology, shuiyuan chemical, etc. gaomeng new materials is a representative enterprise of water-based uv resin in my country and is currently actively promoting a technical transformation project with an annual output of 5,000 tons of water-based uv resin.

industry analysts said that water-based uv resin, as an important raw material for water-based uv inks and water-based uv coatings, has strong market demand and industry development trends. keep improving. in recent years, with the continued efforts of local enterprises, the output and quality of water-based uv resin in my country have continued to improve. it is expected that in the future, with the improvement of technological innovation level, my country’s water-based uv resin industry will gradually develop in the direction of high performance.
