Abstract

Radiation curing technology is widely recognized as a “green” or sustainable technology because of the avoidance of VOC emissions and low energy use compared to solvent or water based coating and printing technologies. The use of radiation curable materials based at least partially on renewable raw materials brings another level of sustainability. While renewable based radiation curable materials are currently being used commercially (primarily in printing inks), there are many opportunities to design new materials with higher renewable content and enhanced performance. The properties of new materials with high renewable content in targeted coating and ink applications will be discussed.
