Curing with UV light is like baking a cake. The cake mix doesn’t care whether it’s in a gas or an electric oven, or whether the oven is made by GE or Amana. As long as the temperature is right and the batter is cooked long enough you can produce a quality cake.
Radiation-cured coatings offer great advantages; numerous applications in the wood, paper, overprint varnish, optics, electronics, plastics and inks markets realize benefits from the reduced energy consumption, environmental impact, waste generation, smaller footprint, and faster cure times offered by this technology.
Ecology Coatings, Inc., a leader in the discovery and development of nanotechnology-enabled, ultraviolet-curable advanced coatings, has developed a UV-curable coating to meet the rigorous requirements of the healthcare industry.
This article reports on new UV-curable MA oligomers, present their properties as viscous liquids and their outstanding properties as cured MAs (thin films).
The growth today in waterborne and radiation-cured coatings and inks far exceeds that of its solventborne equivalents. The need for lower VOCs, “greener” materials, improved food safety and reduced economics
