• Stable at room temperature – Easier processing and longer
shelf life
• 100% solids technology – no VOCs (volatile organic compounds)
• Primers not required – lower cost
• Flexible processing – spin, dip, flow, spray, web
UV curable coatings are available in both solvent-based and 100% solids
formulations. The choice is largely dependent on the geometry of the
part to be coated and the application method utilized. Solvent-based
coatings can be used with most application techniques and are required
for dip and flow applications. 100% solids coatings can be applied
by spin | spray | screen | web systems
The absence of solvents makes these coatings attractive from a health
and environmental perspective. LTI is at the forefront of development
of 100% solids technology and pioneered the use of these coatings
in the ophthalmic lens industry.
Thermal Coatings (for Hard
Resin Plastics) Thermal cure coatings are based on polysiloxane
(Si-OH-Si) chemistry. These coatings offer the highest performance
characteristics and are particularly well suited as a base for thin
film coatings.
In addition, the thermal cure aspect allows for even cure across complex
geometries that may not allow for UV light exposure.
Application techniques for thermal cure coatings are typically dip
| spin | flow. All of our thermal cure coatings
are solvent-based.
