Photocuring technology and its application

Photocuring refers to the curing process of monomer, oligomer or polymeric matrix under light induction, which is generally used in film forming. The technology has the characteristics of high efficiency, wide adaptability, economy, energy saving and environmental protection.

Compared with traditional coatings and inks, the main advantage of photocurable coatings and photocurable inks is environmental protection, which is due to the use of active thinner to adjust the viscosity, and the content of organic volatile components is very low. Non-photocurable coatings or inks are also environmentally friendly, such as water-based coatings and inks, two-component heat curing coatings, powder coatings, etc. Compared to these applications, the advantages of light curing technology are fast and low energy consumption. Some application technologies are the combination of light curing technology and other technologies, such as light curing waterborne coatings, light curing powder coatings, so that its advantages are more prominent.

Photocuring technology is summarized as having "5E" characteristics:

Efficient

Enabling

Economical

Energy Saving

Environmental Friendly

Photoinitiator, also known as photosensitizer or photocuring agent, is a kind of photoinitiator that can absorb certain wavelength energy in ultraviolet region (250-420nm) or visible region (400-800nm). It produces free radicals, cations, etc., which initiate monomer polymerization and crosslinking of cured compounds.
