UVHC

Table 13 shows that the incorporation of 25% Ebecryl 8110 leads to a dramatic decrease in surface energy (as shown by the test inks), the coated surface becoming highly hydrophobic (water contact angle is around 102[degrees]) and slightly oleophobic (n-hexadecane contact angle is around 67[degrees]), compared to the unmodified hardcoat Ref UVHC. As also shown in the table, resistances to scratching, chemical agents, and stains are maintained at the high performance level of the unmodified hardcoat Ref UVHC.
