| Résumé : |
The author reviews the development of UV curing chemistries and techniques for plastic components, their current uses and future potential.
UV is rapidly becoming the technique of choice for curing coatings in the plastic components industry, but it has not been all plain sailing. Complex part shapes, temperature sensitive substrates and demanding finish quality are just some of the challenges faced by chemistry suppliers and equipment manufacturers alike.
Until recently, coaters and decorators of plastic components had no option but to paint or coat pieces using water or solvent-based products and then to dry them all thermally in large curing ovens. Though effective, the water-based coatings required high energy input to drive off the water content, the VOC emissions from drying solvent-based formulations required expensive containment or treatment equipment and the drying ovens took up a huge amount of space. Identifying and developing a drying technology that could eliminate some or all of these problems would revolutionise the production process and massively enhance the potential for coated plastic components. UV curing was an obvious contender. |
