Ciba Specialty Chemicals has developed a new,patented photolatent-base curing technology for the automotive and industrial coatings markets."To date the number of photolatent compounds known to be inactive and stable in the dark but capable of efficiently generating a basic catalyst on exposure to light is very small," says Hermann Angerer,Global Head of Ciba Specialty Chemicals' Coating Effects Segment."This novel technology allows previously inaccessible curing mechanisms to be used to design completely new resin types with improved coating properties.It also opens up new opportunities for conventional coating systems.Furthermore,it allows economically and environmentally more attractive radiation curing."
