Inerted UV Tunnel for Wood Applications

In te wood industry, the usage of UV technology is well established for the production of doors, flooring and furniture. Compared to conventional processes, UV technology induces ultra fast curing resultings and furniture. Compared to conventional processes, UV technology induces ultra fast curing resultingin higher production capacity, lower space

Increase of Energy Efficiency of UV Curing Systems

The worldwide acceptance of UV-curing of coatings on film, foils and surfaces is uncontested today. Authorities, associations, chemical industry and mechanical engeneering companies identify themselves withthis environment-friendly technology. All parties involved in the production chain benefit from this environment-friendly technology.

Hybrid Photoinitiator Based on Arene-Iron Complex and a-Hydroxy Alkyl Phenone

A novel bifuntional hybrid photoinitiator was synthesized and characterized. This hybird photoinitiator contain chemical groups wich can start free radical and cationic polymerization simultaneously.

UV-Curable Inks for Industrial Applications on Plastic Substrates

The inderect rotogravure printing process is well known for industrial application on plastic substrates, for example is used for the production of edges and panels for indoor application.

Guide to the Classification and Labelling of UV/EB Acrylates

In response to industry's voluntary product stewardship initiative Responsible Care the CEFIC UV?EB Acrylate Resins sector group produced its GUIDE TO THE CLASSIFICATION AND LABELLING OF UV/EB ACRYLATES. This quide was designed to harmonize the application of the current European chemical regulations and to assist te UV?EB coatings/ink industry.

Free Radical Photoinitiators. Review and Primer

The polymerisation process from UV lamp to polymer. Photoinitiators and the generation of radicals. The chromaphore. Mechanisms of type I and type II initiators

Flame-Retardant Treatment of Cotton Fabrics Using a UV-Curable Phosphrous-Containing Monomer

UV-Curable formulations of Bis 2-(methacryloyloxy phosphate and 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl-prpan-1-one, as a difunctional monomers and a photoinitiator respectively, was applied to cotton fabrics for flame-retardancy.

Excited State Properties and Molecular Modeling Investigation of 4-(methylthio) phenuyl-2-Morpholinopropanone

The Photophysics of 4-(methylthio) phenuyl-2-Morpholinopropanone was explored through pump probe picosecond spectroscopy. A four-level kinetic scheme involving two excited singlet states and two excited triplet states had been prposed to explain the observed excited state processes.
