Daybreak Technologies, a developer and manufacturer of advanced UV/EB curable coatings and adhesives for the printing and packaging industries, has announced the opening of a new 5,000 square foot research and development laboratory at Gateway University Research Park in Browns Summit, NC, USA.
The lab is designed to support the development of advanced UV and EB curable coatings and adhesives, and includes a narrow flexo/rotary screen combination press to test materials under realistic production conditions. The lab has both UV and EB curing capabilities. Development is supported by advanced analytical, physical property, and accelerated aging testing. This includes migration testing to confirm materials are suitable for food and pharmaceutical packaging applications.
In addition to in-house testing capabilities, Daybreak is affiliated with the University of North Carolina/North Carolina A&T State University Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering (JSNN). The relationship provides access to a vast array of state-of-the-art analytical equipment guided by the JSNN faculty.
Daybreak is part of the Polytex group of companies, a leader in water-based inks and coatings for specialty markets and applications.
