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 2024 RadTech UV&EB Technology & Conference, the world’s largest event dedicated to the educational, technical, and scientific advancement of ultraviolet (UV) and electron beam (EB) technologies, will take place May 20-22 at the Hyatt Regency in Orlando, Florida. This year’s theme is “Today’s Choices, Tomorrow’s Future: UV+EB for Sustainable & Responsible Manufacturing.”
Mercury vapor, light-emitting diode (LED), and excimer are distinct UV-curing lamp technologies. All three are used in various photopolymerization processes, but understanding the differences between them is instrumental in application and formulation development, UV-curing source selection, and integration.
Phoseon is a designer and manufacturer of world-class LED-based industrial curing and scientific illumination solutions that delivers field-proven reliability and enables significant efficiency gains for a wide range of global customers.
By keeping all the components of your UV curing system clean, cool and maintained, you can expect uniform and consistent cures, fewer issues, reduced scrap and happy customers.
With the help of EFSEN and AkzoNobel, furniture maker SC Freda was able to transform the majority of its coating line to a UV-LED system, maintaining a stable, robust production method that ensures a high-quality end product that meets the target requirements.
CAS DataLoggers supplied a temperature monitoring solution for an industrial paint curing oven used by a manufacturer of commercial snow removal equipment. This customer was experiencing periodic problems with the quality of their powder-coated parts.
A brief overview of RadTech 2020, as well as insights from JP Masson, Director of Sales and Marketing, Nagase America, Chemicals Division, on trends in the curing market.
The results of this study demonstrate that heat-sensitive substrates like plastics and composites can be prepared with plasma treatment and successfully coated with UV-cured powder without degrading or deforming the integrity of the substrate.
