Description
Radiation curing (ultraviolet light and electron beam
technology), a new high-growth innovative technology, is
a chemical manufacturing process for products and product
finishing including adhesives, coatings, inks, photopolymers,
photoresists and other systems which use radiant (ultraviolet-
UV and electron beam-EB) energy for polymerization,
crosslinking or degradation of a formulated chemical product
or material. This comprehensive course will cover both basic
concepts and new developments in this technology.
Radiation curing provides the following advantages: 100%
reactive, one-component formulations; pollution abatement
and compliance with governmental regulations; low substrate
heating; increased productivity; reasonable capital investment;
improved product quality; and unique product performance
capabilities. Detailed presentations will provide information
on applications and markets, chemistry/photoinitiation
technology, additives, equipment, formulations, synthesis
methods, manufacturing, application techniques, evaluation
and testing, health and safety, government regulations and
new developments/markets.
Particular emphasis is placed on encouraging individual
interaction with the faculty throughout the course. Specific
participants’ interests are also addressed in the popular
open forum panel discussion.
