INTRODUCTION
RADSIL-RAD 1008G is a medium viscosity UV curable release coating designed to be applied via flexographic methods. When cured with the appropriate energy level provides a high gloss finish. When RADSIL-RAD 1008G is applied with a 400-line, 6.0 bcm anilox on paper and film, a very smooth surface is produced. RADSIL-RAD 1008G will cure at 125 FPM with one 200 hundred watts per inch focused medium pressure mercury vapor lamp. RADSIL-RAD 1008G will cure at higher line speeds when using two 200 hundred watts per inch focused medium pressure mercury vapor lamps with the same anilox.  

RECOMMENDED USES
RADSIL-RAD 1008G
can be used where the end use requires a high gloss release coating with durability, mar, chemical resistance and moisture resistance on a variety of plastic and paper substrates. RADSIL-RAD 1008G has been tested on paper stocks with varying degrees of basis weights i.e. Clay-coated Kraft and 100 lb. Clay-coated Cover Stock and some plastic films i.e. KoradÒ and L.D. Polyethylene. RADSIL RAD 1008G is used in applications where low peel strengths are required for acrylic and rubber based adhesives.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE
RADSIL-RAD 1008G is intended to be applied via flexographic or roller coater methods. Heating the product before application can improve the smoothness of the cured film. RADSIL-RAD 1008G will yield peel strengths between 5-10 grams per inch with a gloss level between 70-80% when measured on Byk Gardner Glossmeter at 60°. RADSIL UV Release Coatings are intended to be used as supplied. No additions (i.e. photoinitiators, sensitizers, diluents, etc.) are normally required.

DO NOT ADD SOLVENTS TO RADSIL PRODUCTS. IF VISCOSITY REDUCTION IS REQUIRED, CONTACT YOUR ECC TECHNOLOGIES REPRESENTATIVE. THE USER MUST VERIFY THE SUITABILITY OF THIS PRODUCT FOR THE USER'S INTENDED APPLICATION AND SUBSTRATE.
MIX THOROUGHLY BEFORE USING.

APPLICATION

Cylinder Heads
RADSIL series products can be applied with a variety of cylinder head configurations from 65-line tetrahedral to 500-line quadrangular. The choice of cylinder head depends on the end use application and the desired film weight.

Doctor Blades
RADSIL series products have been tested with all doctor blade compositions and found there to be no adverse affect on the product or the doctor blade.

Cylinder Composition
Chrome cylinders can be used to apply the RADSIL Release Coatings depositing even consistent film thickness.

RELEASE APPLICATION

RADSIL UV Release Coatings may be applied by many different processes varying from direct gravure to flexographic methods. RADSIL UV Release Coatings are compatible with most Acrylic or Rubber-based laminating or pressure sensitive adhesives. The variables that control release properties are the chemistry of the adhesive as well as proper curing and film weight. Higher film weights tend to seal more of the substrate allowing less of the adhesive to attach itself to the substrate forming another bond. We recommend that the application of the release coating for varying film weights be examined carefully for the best results.
