Fluorolink® MD700
Fluorolink® MD700 is a bifunctional PFPE-urethane methacrylate. When used as the main component of a photocurable formulation, Fluorolink® MD700 is suitable as an oligomer for producing low optical loss polymeric waveguides and cladding of optical fibres.
Benefits Fluorolink® MD700
- Outstanding water/oil repellency
- Antifingerprint properties
Fluorolink® MD700
Fluorolink® MD700 can also be used as a surface modifying additive in acrylic UV-curable systems: in fact, thanks to its tendency to migrate to the air-coating interface, Fluorolink® MD700 imparts outstanding water/oil repellency and antifingerprint properties.
UV curing
When used as an additive at low dosage (0.1 – 0.5 % w/w) into a UV-curable formulation, Fluorolink® MD700 does not require special curing conditions, while UV-curing under nitrogen is recommended whenever the Fluorolink® MD700 is used as the major component of the photocurable formulation. The recommended photo-initiators are based on α-hydroxyketones and acyl-phosphineoxides, whose combination is synergic, at a 1-2 % w/w level.
