UV-curable coating: a new choice for fast drying, environmental protection, and efficient coating
With the improvement of people’s environmental awareness, more and more companies are beginning to pay attention to the research and development of environmentally friendly coatings and applications. As a new type of environmentally friendly paint, UV-curable paint is gradually becoming the new favorite in the paint market because of its advantages such as fast drying, environmental protection, and efficient coating.
What is UV curable coating?
Ultraviolet light-curable coating is a coating that cures quickly after being irradiated with ultraviolet rays. It is composed of monomers, photoinitiators, additives, etc. After coating, through ultraviolet irradiation, the monomers in the coating will undergo a cross-linking reaction, thereby achieving rapid drying and curing effects.
Advantages of UV-curable coatings
1. Fast drying: UV-curable coatings can dry within a few seconds after irradiation, greatly shortening the coating cycle and improving production. efficiency.
2. Environmental protection: UV-curable coatings do not contain volatile organic compounds, will not pollute the environment, and meet environmental protection requirements.
3. Efficient coating: UV-curable coatings can achieve one-time coloring of primer, topcoat, and varnish in one coating, greatly improving coating efficiency.
Applications of UV-curable coatings
UV-curable coatings are widely used in furniture, wood products, electronic products, auto parts and other fields. Among them, furniture and wood products are the main application areas of UV-curable coatings. During the painting process of furniture and wood products, UV-curable coatings can achieve fast drying and efficient painting, greatly improving production efficiency and product quality.
Operation steps for UV-cured coatings
1. Preparation: Stir the coating evenly and add an appropriate amount of diluent according to the coating requirements.
2. Coating: Apply the paint on the surface of the object to be painted, paying attention to even coating.
3. Ultraviolet irradiation: Put the coated object into a UV curing machine and perform ultraviolet irradiation.
4. Inspection: After the paint is dry, inspect it. If there is any failure, repair it in time.
