The Effect of Metal Foil Substrate Variation on UV Curing Studied by UV N1O1 Cure Tester, FTIR and UV Spectrophotometry.
By i. H. Nobhs, S. A. Orton and P. K. T. Oldring, University of Leeds, Thomas Swan & Co - RadTech Europe Conference 1989The effect of substrate reflectance and surface roughness on the curing properties of a commercial ink and a clear lacquer on an aluminium foil laminate were studied. The cure times recorded by a UV N1O1 Cu
Seminar Package; RTE Metal Coatings Seminar 2011
This package contains all the presentations that were given at the RTE Metal Coatings Seminar 2011, held at OCAS N.V. in Belgium. While UV & EB technology is already used in a wide variety and increasing number of industrial segments, RadTech-Europe envisions UV/EB technology to gain a still broader acceptance throughout the European Industry.
