Kabasph Additives For Furniture UV Curing Coating

UV curing systems are widely used in wood coatings, industrial coatings, inks, and adhesives for their fast curing, high hardness, excellent gloss, and environmental benefits. However, formulators face persistent challenges: pigment dispersion and viscosity reduction, paste storage stability, floating and blossoming, settling and sagging, wetting and leveling, spray/roller/curtain coating defoaming, and adhesion issues. The KBS additive series is designed to address these challenges across UV primers, UV matte pastes, UV color pastes, UV spray, and roller/curtain coating applications.

Why KBS Additives Matter in furniture UV Curing Coating Systems

Improving Pigment Dispersion and Viscosity Reduction

Our high-performance pigment and filler dispersing and wetting agents for UV curing systems, such as KBS-F5030, KBS-F1610A, KBS-F8200, KBS-F8400, KBS-F8500, KBS-F8600, KBS-F104SK, and KBS-F5020, provide excellent viscosity reduction, dispersion, and storage stability. KBS-F5030 is an acid-containing copolymer solution with excellent viscosity reduction and stability in primers. KBS-F1610A is an acid polyester compound with excellent viscosity reduction of inorganic pigment fillers and high color spreading of white pastes. KBS-F8200 is a block copolymer with excellent viscosity reduction, dispersion, and storage stability in UV matte paste systems, especially for epoxy acrylate and polyester acrylate. KBS-F8400 is a block copolymer that contributes to the balance of dispersion, viscosity reduction, and stability of UV pastes. KBS-F8500 is a block copolymer with excellent viscosity reduction and stability in UV pastes, especially for organic pigments. KBS-F8600 is an acid polyester compound with excellent viscosity reduction and stability for UV paste dispersion, more suitable for inorganic pigment dispersion. KBS-F104SK is a silicone blend that improves floating color and blooming when added before or after. KBS-F5020 is an acid group copolymer solution with excellent viscosity reduction, dispersion, and storage stability in UV matte paste systems and uniform gloss.

Controlling Rheology: Anti-Settling and Anti-Sagging

• Red Keyword Area: Our hot-selling KBS rheology control additives for UV curing systems, such as KBS-C410K and KBS-C7100, provide anti-settling and anti-sagging performance. KBS-C410K is an organic polyurea referenced to BYK-410. KBS-C7100 is an acid-based copolymer solution. These products help improve storage stability and vertical sag resistance in UV pastes and coatings.

Wetting, Leveling, and Surface Control

• Red Keyword Area: Our high-performance wetting and leveling agents for UV curing systems, such as KBS-L331K, KBS-L333K, KBS-L3770, KBS-L358NK, and KBS-L410K, improve wetting, leveling, and surface smoothness. KBS-L331K and KBS-L333K are polyether-modified silicones. KBS-L3770 is a fluorine modified acrylate solution. KBS-L358NK is a polyacrylate solution. KBS-L410K is an organosiloxane polymer. These products help reduce orange peel, fish eyes, and surface defects, improving UV coating appearance.

Defoaming and Foam Control

• Red Keyword Area: Our high-performance defoamers and air release additives for UV curing systems, such as KBS-X141K, KBS-X066NK, and KBS-X055K, combine compatibility and defoaming ability. KBS-X141K is a silicone solution for spray defoaming, not easy to cause shrinkage. KBS-X066NK is a fluorine-modified silicone solution for spray defoaming, with strong defoaming and foam inhibition. KBS-X055K is a polyacrylate for roller coating and drenching defoaming, with good compatibility and not easy to cause shrinkage or curtain breakage. These defoamers are suitable for UV spray, roller coating, curtain coating, and thick-film systems.

Adhesion Promotion and Substrate Bonding

• Red Keyword Area: Our high-performance adhesion promoters and coupling agents for UV curing systems, such as KBS-Z0100, KBS-Z0200, and KBS-Z0300A, improve adhesion to substrates. KBS-Z0100 is an amino-containing organosilane. KBS-Z0200 is an epoxy-containing organosilane. KBS-Z0300A is a polyester compound. They are designed for UV curing systems where enhanced substrate bonding is required.

Practical Formulation Considerations

• Loading levels. Additive dosage depends on the base resin system, pigment/filler loading, film thickness, and target performance. Laboratory evaluation is recommended for each formulation.
• Compatibility. The KBS series is compatible with UV coatings, UV inks, UV primers, UV matte pastes, UV color pastes, epoxy acrylate, and polyester acrylate systems. KBS-F8200 is especially suitable for epoxy acrylate and polyester acrylate. KBS-F8500 is especially suitable for organic pigments. KBS-F8600 is more suitable for inorganic pigments.
• Processing. Add under moderate agitation. Dispersants are typically incorporated during the pigment dispersion/grinding stage. Anti-settling and thixotropic agents can be added during let-down or under controlled shear. Wetting and leveling agents and defoamers are generally added in the let-down stage. Adhesion promoters are typically added in the let-down stage.
• Surface and leveling. KBS-L358NK is suitable for roller/curtain coating long-wave leveling. KBS-L331K and KBS-L333K are suitable for general wetting and leveling. KBS-L410K provides organosiloxane surface control.
• Foam control. KBS-X141K and KBS-X066NK are recommended for spray systems. KBS-X055K is recommended for roller and curtain coating systems, with good compatibility and no easy shrinkage or curtain breakage.
