Features: Light-curing coatings primarily refer to a new type of coating that rapidly crosslinks and cures into a film under ultraviolet light exposure. Due to their efficient curing and environmentally friendly characteristics, they have been widely recognized by the global coatings industry and have seen rapid development in recent years. Currently, light-curing coatings have expanded from their initial application in wood finishing to being extensively used on various substrates such as paper, plastics, metals, glass, ceramics, and more. They are also evolving toward functionalization. This book begins by introducing the raw materials and equipment used in light-curing coatings, with a focus on the formulation, performance, and application of various light-curing coatings, including bamboo and wood flooring coatings, plastic coatings, paper lamination coatings, metal coatings, vacuum coating coatings, light-curing water-based coatings, and light-curing powder coatings. This book is suitable for engineers and technicians working in the coatings industry, as well as those engaged in polymer radiation chemistry and radiation processing, for reference.
