Industrial Floor Coating Based On Biorenewable Materials

摘要

Ultraviolet(UV)coating technology is widely used for decoration and protection in many different applications in a wide range of industries.The environmental benefits of UV technology are well documented for the reduction of emissions of volatile organic compounds(VOCs)and hazardous air pollutants(HAPs).1'2 Additional advantages of this environmentally friendly technology include faster cure,increased production speed,improved process efficiency,source reduction,and sustainability.Fast cure under UV lamps eliminates the need for ovens or extensive manufacturing space for drying of coatings,with corresponding savings in energy costs and infrastructure.UV technology can provide a healthier work environment,and can decrease risks and lower insurance costs by eliminating flammable solvents from coating processes.Regulatory costs can be significantly reduced with UV technology which can provide lower applied coating cost and reduced overall cost through improved process efficiency and elimination of pollution.UV technology is not only applicable in a factory setting,but is also suitable for field use with handheld UV lamps and UV floor cure units.
