UV products contain a binder with a photoinitiator. When the applied coat is exposed to UV light, the initiator absorbs energy and triggers rapid polymerization (curing) of the binder. This split-second process produces highly durable and chemically resistant finishes. Joinery treated with a UV product can be stacked immediately after curing, without any risk of the surfaces sticking to each other. In their basic form, all Sherwin-Williams UV products are solvent-free.
With new application technology and Sherwin-Williams advanced product development, UV products can now be used much more broadly than before.
