Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus and a method of producing molding materials and coatings on substrates by curing radiation-curable materials under an inert gas atmosphere by exposure to high-energy radiation.
Abstract:
A painted surface is processed by a laser beam to remove at least one layer of paint. The surface that is exposed may be the raw substrate material, e.g., wood or wood laminate, or may be another painted surface. The laser may engrave a pattern, e.g. a wood grain pattern.
Abstract:
A production method of an insulating film includes (1) a process of applying, onto a substrate, a film forming composition comprising a compound having a cage structure to form a film and then drying the film; and (2) a process of irradiating the film with an electron beam or an electromagnetic wave having a wavelength greater than 200 nm.
Abstract:
A production method of an insulating film includes a process of applying a film forming composition to form a film; and a process of irradiating the film with at least two kinds of high energy rays to cure the film.
Abstract:
A method of making a polymer coating on a microstructured substrate. The method may be performed by vaporizing a liquid monomer or other pre-polymer composition and condensing the vaporized material onto a microstructured substrate, followed by curing. The resulting article may possess a coating that preserves the underlying microstructural feature profile. Such a profile-preserving polymer coating can be used to change or enhance the surface properties of the microstructured substrate while maintaining the function of the structure.
Abstract:
A method for manufacturing an optical film comprising a transparent substrate and at least one functional layer on or above the transparent substrate, wherein said at least one functional layer to be laminated on the transparent substrate is formed by a layer-forming method comprising the following steps (1) and (2): (1) step of applying a coated layer on the transparent substrate, and (2) step of curing the coated layer by irradiating ionizing radiation in an oxygen environment in which the oxygen concentration is lower than an atmospheric oxygen concentration.
Abstract:
The invention concerns an installation wherein is performed a crosslinking operation for a coating such as an ink or a varnish through ultraviolet radiation or electronic beam, in the presence of a gas mixture with controlled oxygen residual content. The installation comprises a chamber including one or more UV lamps or a source of accelerated electrons, required for performing the crosslinking operation, and is characterized in that it comprises an input device adjacent the chamber comprising at least the following three components, viewed successively by the product moving to be treated: a labyrinth system, means for injecting an inert gas forming a gas knife and a channel.
Abstract:
A plasma polymer having residual functional (reactive) groups is formed on a substrate, a radiation curable coating composition is applied to the plasma polymer-coated substrate, and the radiation curable composition is radiation cured. The radiation curable composition contains a component which forms a polymer with the reactive groups of the plasma polymer, anchoring the cured composition to the plasma polymer which is anchored to the substrate.
