Register for Virtual Learning Conference on UV-Curable Coatings
BLUE BELL, Pa. - Cosponsored by FSCT and RadTech International, the e-learning Virtual Learning Conferences will begin in 2005 with a two-part program on UV-curable coatings. The VLC programs may be taken separately or as a series.
Aaron Lockhart, Bayer MaterialScience, LLC, will present "UV-Curable Coatings I: Coatings for Plastics." It will take place Thursday, March 17, 2005, from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm (ET). This session addresses the chemistry of UV-curable coatings and its potential suitability in end uses where a coating for plastic is needed or desired. Traditionally, elasticity, adhesion and expense have limited the utilization of UV-curing technology in plastic coatings. However, with the employment of urethane chemistry in UV-curable coatings, these and other concerns are dissolved. Examples of both functional and aesthetic coatings will be presented relative to mono- and dual-curing, waterborne and solventborne UV-curable coatings.
