Applying UV coating on textile and leather surfaces can enhance performance and aesthetics, but it also comes with some trade-offs. Here's a breakdown of the advantages and disadvantages for each:

Advantages:

1:Fast Curing: UV curing is almost instantaneous, improving production efficiency.

2:Improved Surface Properties:

Increases abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, and chemical resistance.

Enhances gloss, smoothness, and color vibrancy.

3:Low VOC: Eco-friendly with minimal volatile organic compound emissions.

4:Customizability: Formulations can be tailored for flexibility, gloss, or matte effects.

5: Anti-soiling: Improved cleanability, especially for upholstery or outdoor fabrics.

Disadvantages:

1:Limited Flexibility:

UV coatings can become brittle or crack on highly flexible fabrics.

2:Substrate Compatibility:

Poor adhesion on some synthetic fibers (e.g., polyester, nylon) without special pretreatments (e.g., corona, plasma).

3:Cost: UV coatings and curing equipment can be more expensive than conventional systems.

4: Yellowing Risk: Some UV systems may yellow under prolonged UV exposure.

UV Coating on Leather (Natural or Synthetic)

Advantages:

1: Durability: Excellent resistance to scratches, scuffs, solvents, and water.

2: Appearance: Achieves high-gloss, matte, or semi-gloss finishes for premium looks.

3:Protection: Shields leather from UV aging, discoloration, and surface wear.

4:Low Environmental Impact: Solvent-free or low-VOC options are available.

5:Easy Maintenance: Surfaces become easier to wipe clean.

Disadvantages:

1: Stiffness:

Can reduce the natural softness or flexibility of leather.

May cause cracking during bending if the formulation isn't flexible enough.

2:Adhesion Challenges:

Leather is a complex substrate; adhesion may require special primers or surface treatments.

3: Cost and Process Complexity:

Higher material and equipment cost compared to traditional PU or acrylic topcoats.

4: Over-curing Risk:

If not well controlled, UV curing may lead to over-hardening or uneven surface finish.

In the ever-evolving world of performance coatings, selecting the right UV resin system is critical to ensuring durability, flexibility, and eco-friendliness — especially in leather and textile applications.

At Ever Ray, we specialize in the manufacturing and development of UV resin oligomers, including high-performance UV acrylates tailored for :

LEATHER COATING RESINS
