Adhesion and toughness for can coatings and metal deco

Radcure base resins and epoxies are commonly used on the bottom rim of aluminum cans but there has been a recent resurgence in radcure polyester acrylates for metal deco applications.  Products like EBECRYL® 548 and EBECRYL® 444 can give the adhesion and toughness required.

  • Adhesion
  • Direct to Metal
  • Toughness
