GC, through its subsidiary allnex, reaffirmed its leadership in sustainable and energy-curable technologies at RadTech 2025—the world’s premier event for ultraviolet and electron beam (UV+EB) innovation. Held in Detroit, Michigan, this global gathering brought together the leaders in coatings and materials science, providing a stage for allnex to present its advancements in UV+EB-curable coating resins.

At the event, allnex engaged industry professionals with a dynamic showcase of product innovations and sustainable solutions tailored for packaging, industrial, and specialty applications. Backed by its global team of chemists and application experts, allnex demonstrated how its technologies bridge sustainability and performance in real-world environments.

A major highlight of the conference was allnex’s series of sharing, where subject matter experts shared insights into the industry’s most pressing challenges and breakthrough solutions:

• Low Migration Strategies in Food Packaging discussed the latest developments in photoinitiator and resin formulations designed for low migration—helping manufacturers meet both safety standards and regulatory compliance with confidence.
• UV+EB Coatings for Coil Applications highlighted how allnex’s EB/UV-curable coatings offer fast curing, energy savings, and superior resistance—key to performance in harsh industrial environments.
• Sustainable Materials with High Mechanical Performance explored how bio-based and recycled content can be formulated to achieve high modulus, flexibility, and durability—unlocking new design possibilities while reducing carbon impact.
• Expanding Energy-Curable Coatings to Field Applications showcased innovations in field-applied coatings, including UV solutions for flooring, automotive refinishing, and more. He also shared testing data that demonstrated improvements in weatherability and surface durability.
• Launch of UCECOAT® 7738, a next-generation UV polyurethane dispersion (PUD) designed for industrial coatings, combines excellent film formation, ease of application, and robust performance—reinforcing allnex’s commitment to delivering customer-centric solutions that meet the evolving demands of modern coating applications.
