Description
Since UV curing (light induced polymerisation of multifunctional oligomers) is a very ecoefficient and energy saving curing method, the
growth rates of UV curable coatings are in the range of 10% per year. The typical UV coatings are solvent free (100% solids), thus helping
the industry and the environment to reduce significantly VOC (volatile organic compounds). Recently, the automotive industry has discovered
that UV cured coatings are very scratch resistant, which stimulated very extensive work into the development of UV coatings for automotive
applications. Since UV curing is very universal, also other systems besides the 100% solid (typical) UV coatings are developed, like
waterbased UV- , UV powder and Dual cure (UV and thermal) systems.UV Coatings contains an overview of the technology,
the curing process including the equipment necessary, the raw materials (resins, diluents, photoinitiators) used, the advantages and
drawbacks of this fast emerging technology, as well as proposed technical solutions to tackle the disadvantages. Structure-property relationships
will be given, especially regarding the mechanical properties of coatings as well as scratch resistance, mainly dealing with automotive
performance criteria.
The main part of the book will deal with new developments, like water-based UV coatings, UV powder coatings and
dual cure systems, cured by UV and thermal energy, which have been developed to cure the coating on three dimensional substrates in shadow
areas. The main applications of UV Coatings will be described, starting with the classical ones on temperature sensitive substrates,
like wood, paper and plastics, where the UV curable coatings are already well established.
Audience
For chemical engineers, material scientists, polymer scientists, automotive industry, consultants.
