UV Curing in the Plastic Components Industry

摘要

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 very high energy input to drive off the water content, the VOC emissions from drying solvent-based formulations required expensive containmentor treatment equipment and the drying ovens simply took up a huge amount of space.
