UNIGRIP series
The UNIGRIP series comprises advanced acrylated adhesion promoters engineered to enhance interfacial bonding in UV- and LED-curable systems. These materials are designed to improve adhesion by promoting strong chemical interaction, enhanced wetting, and effective mechanical anchoring between the coating and substrate. By combining reactive acrylate functionality with targeted adhesion-promoting chemistries, UNIGRIP products deliver superior bonding performance without compromising cure speed, optical clarity, or formulation stability.
UNIGRIP adhesion promoters copolymerize into the cured polymer network, providing permanent adhesion enhancement with minimal migration and long-term durability. Their optimized molecular design ensures excellent compatibility with a wide range of resins while maintaining low color and high formulation flexibility.
Acrylated Adhesion Promoter Systems For UV & LED Curing
The UNIGRIP portfolio includes multiple chemistries, such as organophosphate-functionalized, carboxy-functionalized, and organosilane-modified acrylates allowing precise selection based on substrate type, performance requirements, and formulation constraints. These products are extensively used in UV and LED-curable systems across coatings, inks, adhesives, and functional materials.

FAQs
Do they affect the durability of the final coating or ink?
Yes, they positively affect the durability of the final coating or ink. They enhance peel resistance, scratch resistance and cross-hatch performance. Since they copolymerize into the cured network, the adhesion becomes permanent, supporting long-term mechanical and performance stability.
Are these adhesion promoters compatible with modern UV curing systems?
Absolutely! They are designed to work efficiently with both fast UV-LED curing systems and traditional mercury UV systems, while maintaining fast cure speeds and consistent performance.
Do these adhesion promoters migrate?
No, they are formulated for low migration and long-term performance stability. Also, they help maintain adhesion and integrity over time.
Do these adhesion promoters help in formulation tuning?
Yes, they enable formulation tuning via viscosity, polarity and colour control without compromising cure speed or adhesion performance.
Do they perform better under demanding service conditions?
Yes, they perform better under demanding service conditions and are engineered for long-term stability. They help maintain adhesion, mechanical strength and surface integrity even under continuous use and environmental stress.
