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.
Advancements in low-temperature-cure powder coatings explore challenges in formulation, manufacturing limitations, and innovative solutions for improved efficiency and performance.
The UV-curable coatings market is poised for growth, driven by sustainability trends, UV LED curing innovations, and applications in automotive and electronics, among other drivers.
The company achieved a new milestone in its sustainability journey with certification of its Nansha site in China, enabling the launch of a new range of bio-attributed UV/LED/EB curable resins.
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.”
Can UV/EB technology serve as a sustainable solution to the energy crisis? This article examines the factors driving UV/EB technology, supported by case studies demonstrating how it enables innovative manufacturing processes that consume less energy, yet also meet or exceeds air quality standards without requiring add-on pollution controls.
Sustainability is about continuous improvement. The sustainability ABCs of energy-curable technology are impactful and, most importantly, quantifiable.
The European Coil Coating Association
considers UV- / EB-curing technology to be the most significant game changer in terms of decarbonization of the coil coating industry.
