PPG launches portfolio of energy-curable coatings for coiled metal
PPG announced the launch of electron-beam (EB) and ultraviolet (UV) curable backers, primers, basecoats and clearcoats that should bring the energy efficiency and high speed of energy curing to metal coil coaters.
Unlike traditional coil coating systems that require very high temperatures to drive the curing process, these coatings use an electron beam or ultra-violet energy to convert a liquid coating into a fully cured solid finish in seconds, without any significant loss of thickness or weight.
