Abstract
Rapid chemical changes at or near room temperature are the basis of present industrial applications of visible or ultraviolet light in photography, photocopying and photo-printing. The potential of using rapid photo-induced reactions that do not depend on thermal energy for the cure of coatings is attractive for three principal reasons: the steady economic drive for faster curing coatings, the increasing need to coat heat sensitive materials, such as plastics, and the mounting requirements for pollution-free processes. In a non-thermal process, liquid, solvent-free “100 percent solids” formulations can be converted into solid coatings without loss of the volatile low molecular weight components. Development of light-curable formulations over the last few years has led to uv-curable systems which have found successful commercial applications in specific areas both in Europe, Japan and the U.S. The present paper reviews some of the aspects of this new uv-curing technique.
