ANTEC® 2020: The Virtual Edition
Marriott Rivercenter San Antonio, TXAnnouncing ANTEC® 2020: The Virtual Edition. ANTEC® is the premier knowledge-sharing and networking event for the plastics industry. So even though corporate travel bans and social-distancing requirements have made the networking part of ANTEC® impossible, the knowledge-sharing will go on! Please see the FAQs for more information.
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 […]
