Ultraviolet Coatings, commonly referred to as ultraviolet (UV) cured coatings, offer a myriad advantages over traditional coating techniques. They provide a finish of the highest level, which includes protection of the printed products to the highest degree and facilitates a smooth further processing. The use of UV Coated Curing is advantageous in terms of optimal utilization of production plant capacity that saves on the run time of machinery and is also economical on labor.

Who uses UV coated curing?

Since its inception in the 1960s, UV coatings are widely used across a host of industries such as automotive, electronics, metal, telecommunications, graphic arts, glass and plastic decorating. Due to its high adoption, UV coating is a multi-billion dollar industry globally, constituting almost 4% of the industrial coatings market.

The progression of the UV cured coatings market has been phenomenal. With a growth of more than 10% every year, UV coatings have displaced conventional solvent-based and water-based thermal drying processes as it provides increased productivity, improved product quality and performance, and eco-friendly characteristics.

How does UV coated curing works on printed ink on paper? What are its environmental implications?

Based on a photochemical reaction, which is a variation from the traditional heat-based Curing techniques, UV employs high-intensity ultraviolet light for instant drying of inks, adhesives, or coatings. The technique involves the use of liquid monomers and oligomers that are combined with a few photoinitiators, and then subject to UV energy. As a result, products such as inks, adhesives, or coatings harden instantly.

UV curable inks and coatings are less harsh on the environmental than their solvent-based counterpart coatings. In conventional techniques, heat or air is used for the evaporation of solvent which is not required for UV Coated curing. The use of conventional heat and air drying methodologies shrinks the coating on the surface by 50% and produces environmental pollutants as well. On the contrary, UV coated curing is economical as it does not involve loss of coating thickness or loss of volume and is favorable for the environment as it does not release pollutants. For these reasons, UV coated curing is advantageous in terms of higher productivity in less time with a diminished energy use and a considerable reduction in the release of waste and pollutants.

Is the use of UV coated curing lucrative for industrial operations?

Yes, enormously. UV coated curing helps reduce work-in-process thus reducing the manufacturing cycle time. For industrial operations, this translates into significant capital savings and improved cash flow.

For example, a unit that manufactures complex electro-optical equipment requires an assembly for the manufacture of the final product. In the manufacture of the product, which is valued at approximately US$50,000, 10 to 15 adhesive bonds are needed in each of the subassemblies that make a total of almost 100 subassemblies. The use of epoxies requires two to three days for each bond to set up resulting in a four-month product cycle time. O the other hand, the use of UV curing reduces the setting up time for each subassembly to 2 hours for the total product cycle time to reduce to 4 days.
