UV and electron beam curing offer speed and efficiency gains for coil coating, yet adoption remains limited, a topic explored in this interview with RadTech’s Mickey Fortune.
The new coatings use an electron beam or ultra-violet energy to convert a liquid coating into a fully cured solid finish in seconds, without any significant loss of thickness or weight.
Energy-cure coatings are expected to produce revolutionary changes in coil-centered industries, such as building materials, appliances, and HVAC. These advancements will raise the bar for more sustainable, energy-efficient, high-performance solutions, including formulations that offer durability for exterior applications and broader gloss ranges.
Beckers is the first coil coatings company to commit to net-zero emissions by 2050. While the company reduced its absolute CO2e emissions in its own operations (Scope 1 and 2) by 51% between 2013 and 2023, more than 98% of the company’s emissions result from customers and suppliers (Scope 3).
The independent provider of hot-dip galvanizing and coil coating solutions announced it has authorized a third quarter cash dividend in the amount of $0.17 per share.
AkzoNobel’s Coil and Extrusion Coatings business has signed a strategic agreement with the hi-tech specialists to develop a pioneering process that uses electron beams to cure coatings on metal substrates.
