Zero VOC Sunlight Curable Coatings.

From: The Journal of Coatings Technology | Date: April 1, 2000| Author: | Copyright information

Curing of one-pack epoxy coatings by exposure to visible light for a few hours would be a useful innovation for architectural, industrial, and maintenance (AIM) coatings as well as for any large objects that would be difficult to heat but easy to shine a light on.

Zero VOC, low viscosity, sunlight curable clear coats can be formulated with cycloaliphatic epoxy compounds as well as aromatic glycidyl ethers. Cure is achieved with a cationic photoinitiator that generates a strong acid when exposed to sunlight for a couple of hours. The clearcoats had good hardness, adhesion, and ...
