INTRODUTION

 

T-6141 resin is a two-functional fluorine-modified acrylate UV resin with low refractive index, partial hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups, wide adhesion adaptability, rapid curing, good surface drying, and suitable for LED low-energy curing. Applications: optical coatings to reduce reflections and improve imaging clarity, optical fiber applications to reduce signal transmission losses, and solar anti-reflection layers to improve light efficiency.

 

Performance advantages:

Low refractive index: forms a gradient refraction interface with optical glass (n≈1.5) to reduce Fresnel reflection;
Low viscosity processability: reduces the amount of diluent monomers (such as HDDA, TPGDA) to avoid excessive gloss

Fast surface drying: achieves surface curing within 10 seconds under LED light source, suitable for roll-to-roll continuous coating process

Core application areas and technical solutions

 

1. Optical anti-reflection coating
Mechanism of action: Through the wetting matching of fluorinated segments and substrates, a nano-level flat coating (thickness 1-3 μm) is formed, and the reflectivity in the visible light band (400-700 nm) is reduced to less than 0.5%;
Typical case: used for military telescope lens coating, combined with SiO<sub>2</sub>/TiO<sub>2</sub> multilayer film to achieve broadband anti-reflection.
2. Optimization of optical fiber signal transmission
Secondary coating: curing shrinkage <2%, reducing microbending loss (<0.1 dB/km);
Radiation-resistant coating: After adding MOCA crosslinker, UV aging resistance is improved by 300%, suitable for submarine optical cables.
3. Solar cell efficiency enhancement
Anti-reflection layer: After coating on the surface of crystalline silicon, the photoelectric conversion efficiency is increased by 1.2-1.5% (compared with uncoated);
Encapsulation adhesive: used in combination with EVA film, the moisture and heat resistance (85°C/85%RH) meets IEC 61215 standards
