Characteristics of Heat Curable Polyorganosiloxane Coating Materials

Can-Printing Process Uses UV-Curable Coating

Approximately 100 billion aluminum cans are produced annually, mainly for the beverage industry. Early technologies for decorating the cans often used solvent-based coatings containing solvents at concentrations of -70% to 75% by volume (Randall 1992). The solvent composition was typically a mixture of aliphatic hydrocarbons, aromatics, ethers, cellosolves, and acetates. Unfortunately, this met...

Rheological Studies of UV - curable Materials

The challenge for studying fast changing systems with rheology such as UV initiated polymerization and crosslinking is multifold. These materials react within seconds and the moduli change over 2 to 3 decades. UV light must irradiate the sample homogeneously over a short time period and fast data acquisition is required to capture the modulus change during the reaction. An option for UV curing,...

Effect of Heat Treatment Time on the Characteristics of Coating Formed on Nanocrystalline Finemet Foils

In the present research, amorphous Fe73.5Si13.5B9Nb3Cu1 Finemet foils, 21-26µm in thickness and 5mm in width, were prepared by Planar Flow Casting (PFC) process. Wound cores of amorphous Finemet foils were simultaneously annealed and heat treated at 540°C for 60, 120 and 240 minutes in steam and air flow to form oxide insulating coating layer on both surfaces of the foils. The structure of nano...

Uv-curable Release Coating and Adhesive Formulations Containing Vinylethers

Vinylether monomers offer unique properties for UV/EB curing due to their efficiency as reactive diluents and their ability to undergo both cationic homopolymerization and free-radical copolymerization. The benefits derived from the inclusion of vinylethers into commercial UVcurable epoxysilicone formulations include viscosity reduction, improved cationic photoinitiator miscibility, and lower c...
