Northern’s UV cure coatings for glass combine high performance with energy, time, and line footprint savings. Our UV cure system can be applied in just one coat after flame or corona treatment and achieve outstanding adhesion, hardness, and moisture resistance on glass. After a short flash off period, the product can be cured almost instantly using UV light. High gloss and frost finishes are available in most colors.
