UV Powder Technical Data
During the ultraviolet, or UV curing process, a chemical reaction known as photopolymerization reconfigures the molecular structure of the powder. What does that mean for you? The result is an exceptionally durable finish that withstands even the toughest environments. View third party technical data of our UVMax® UV cured powder coating below.

Product Specifications
Maximum product dimensions: 96″ x 48″ x 6″. Under certain circumstances we can finish components outside this range, please contact us to discuss if you have a larger part.
Color coverage is available on any exposed surface and in any combination of size, shape, cut, surface or edge finish within these overall dimensions.
Available Colors & Textures
Our color lab can create a custom powder to match any color specification you may need. From RAL, PMS standards to laminates and wet paints — we’ve got you covered! We can formulate a custom powder to apply UVMax® in virtually any color you need.
Gloss Level
Gloss levels range from 3 to 90 to create a variety of effects, from matte to high-gloss. Please note that gloss levels are variable depending on texture.
Metallics
UVMax® UV cured powder coatings are formulated to meet the customer’s color and performance standards. Color and affect variation are to be expected due to variability in the positioning of metallic flake in the coating.
UV powder application and conditions may affect the positioning of the metallic flake in the UV powder and may cause variation in color and texture of the finished product. Viewing conditions such as light source, viewing angle, and viewing distance may influence visual appearance of the finished metallic coating.
