Beyond Coating and Cure – the Fine Points of Applying UV Curable Materials in Your Manufacturing Process

Presented by Mike Kelly, Allied PhotoChemical; Wilson Lee, Enercon Industries; Brett Maiorano, Atlas Copco Webinar Overview: Pairing a good formulation with the right curing system is only part of the equation when developing a sound UV+EB application process. This webinar is designed to systematically address some of those other concerns with presentations from three industry […]

Effects of Structure and Composition on Mechanical Properties of UV Systems

Dr. Paul Share, Advanced Materials Design The formulation of UV curable compositions for 3D printing requires the simultaneous optimization of opposing properties. Increases in cure speed, desirable for manufacturing throughput, can lead to brittleness, curling, and storage instability. Increases in tensile strength and impact resistance, desirable for structural components, can lead to poor flexibility and […]

High-Performance UV Curable Resin for Automotive Coatings

Marcus Hutchins, allnex Light weighting, reduced carbon footprint, throughput, and sustainability are just some of the more common buzzards original equipment manufacturers (OEM) are using. They are looking for this advantage in not only the assembly process but every part and coating aspect that goes into that assembly. Going hand and hand with the challenges […]

Enabling Energy Curable Adhesion Through Polymer Design

Dr. William Miles, Penn Color, Inc. Energy curable systems are outstanding options for many different applications, but have limits because of difficulty achieving adhesion on low energy substrates. This presentation outlines the properties of a novel branched polymer that can be solubilized into UV monomers to enhance wetting – and thus adhesion – of energy […]
