Suppressed Oxygen Inhibition in UV Curable Formulations Using a Diene as an Additive

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...

An Investigation into UV-Curable Gel Formulations for Topical Nail Medicines

UV-curable Encapsulants for LED

UV cured epoxy systems represent complementary technology to the established heat cured epoxy systems for coating, adhesion and encapsulation of electronic devices. The UV cured epoxy systems offer significant benefits in terms of fast cure and thus very short production cycle time; low stress and better colour due to room temperature cure; process wise no mix ratio problem or anhydride handlin...

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,...

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...
