DESCRIPTION:
"worth every penny" according to Dustin. Dr. Schwalm is possibly the greatest photopolymer chemist of this century! Very insightful and good easy to understand explanation of everything from photo-initiators to equipment to structure property relationships of monomers and oligomers. There is no other book like it if you are into radiation
The main part of the book will deal with new developments, like water-based UV coatings, UV powder coatings and dual cure systems, cured by UV and thermal energy, which have been developed to cure the coating on three dimensional substrates in shadow areas. Recently, the automotive industry has discovered that UV cured coatings are very scratch resistant, which stimulated very extensive work into the development of UV coatings for automotive applications. The typical UV coatings are solvent free (100% solids), thus helping the industry and the environment to reduce significantly VOC (volatile organic compounds). The main applications of UV Coatings will be described, starting with the classical ones on temperature sensitive substrates, like wood, paper and plastics, where the UV curable coatings are already well established.* Looking at UV curing as a key to scratch resistant automotive clear coats* Ecoefficiency of UV Coatings* Comprehensive overview of the technology, materials and markets. Since UV curing is very universal, also other systems besides the 100% solid (typical) UV coatings are developed, like waterbase
