UV cationic coatings present viable and attractive options to OEMs, polymer coaters, extruders, contract coaters and/or thermoformers to improve functional and/or physical properties for formed polymer film/sheet as well as an effective delivery transport mechanism for new pathogen inhibition and biocidal efficacy technologies.

Depending on the nature of the application, different levels of the release effect are desired, and demands regarding durability of the release effect vary substantially. Therefore, it makes sense to take a closer look at the specialty additives that create this effect.

In this study, we evaluate the use of broadband mercury, 385 nm LED and electron beam (EB) curing across a range of different acrylic formulations. The different methods of curing are compared by examining their effect on oxygen inhibition, cure speed and material properties.

This article describes the development of siliconized UV light-cured coatings.

Low-energy EB processing is a technology in evolution. After decades of refinement and integration it continues to offer the potential of significantly enhancing production efficiencies and environmental benefits for manufacturing and brand owners focusing on sustainability, consumer safety, cost competitiveness and product differentiation.

RadTech, the Association for UV and EB Technology, is offering an event that explores the continued emergence of UV and EB technologies used in curing applications.

“The Future of UV/EB Advanced Manufacturing: Trends, Strategies, and Application” is a free international webinar series that addresses timely and relevant trends, issues and applications for individuals and organizations interested in expanding or exploring UV/EB curing technologies.
