UV/EB curing technology has been widely used in many fields such as wood floor coating, electronic product manufacturing and processing, packaging and printing, and industrial bonding. The focus is on the following 10 application areas:

1 UV LED Light Curing Coating Ink Adhesive

The application of UV LED curing in inks and adhesives has developed rapidly, and the application of coating curing has developed relatively slowly, but the advantages of latecomers are significant. After the technology matures, it will form a large-scale development. By 2030, the global market share of UV curing systems is expected It will reach 16.45 billion US dollars, and the compound annual growth rate will reach 18.9%. The next few years will be a period of rapid growth.

2 Photocurable gravure ink

UV screen printing and offset printing ink technologies are relatively mature, while UV gravure printing ink technology is relatively difficult. At present, only a few companies have developed and launched such products, which have high added value and occupy the technological high point of the printing industry.

3 Glass UV coating, ink

It is mainly used for decorative protection of glass building materials, and the key is to overcome the problem of low water resistance and adhesion. In addition, in the field of mobile phone tablet display, UV coating protection is carried out on the glass panel to prevent damage during the glass grinding process and play a temporary protection role, which has formed a large industrial scale.

4 UV coating of high-speed rail head and carriage

The high-hardness, wear-resistant brush, and super-weather-resistant UV coating of the front and carriages of the high-speed rail has already entered the stage of actual measurement, and Futukang participated in it, not leading it.

5 Comprehensive application of UV curing technology in LCD display manufacturing process

Generally, 14 processes apply UV curing technology and materials, including backlight reflective ink, diffusion film, brightness enhancement film, anti-reflection and anti-reflection coating, wear-resistant hard coating, liquid crystal pool sealant, color filter film, phase film , TFT array production, etc.

6 UV curable flexible transparent conductive film

The implementation process of Metal mesh, PEDOT/PPS, AgNW and other technologies is coordinated with photocurable coatings and photocurable transfer adhesives

7 Photocuring Manufacturing of Polymer Solid Lithium Batteries

The replacement of existing liquid lithium batteries by solid-state lithium batteries is the future trend of the power supply industry. A few foreign companies have realized integrated UV curing manufacturing of anode coating, cathode coating, polymer electrolyte layer, and sealing and bonding.

8 Radiation Curing Processing of Wind Turbine Blades

Preliminary application progress has been made in the manufacture of glass fiber composite blade shell materials by EB curing and crosslinking. The gel coat coating on the inner layer of the blade shell is mostly UV cured.

9 UV inkjet printing

It mainly forms a personalized color inkjet market. The print advertising industry is quite popular. Its advantages are environmental protection, fastness, and rich and accurate color expression. The European, American and Japanese markets are developing rapidly. my country has low-end solvent-based inkjet and cheap water-based inkjet Ink has occupied the market in advance, and high-performance UV inkjet has no price advantage. Its domestic market price is about 3-4 times that of solvent ink, and its application development is slow.

10 EB curing printing coating

In view of the European Swiss Nestlé list and the increasingly severe restrictions on traditional inks by the European Printing Association, UV inks that have already become mainstream are also facing the embarrassment of banning many raw materials, among which photoinitiators have been hit hard.

Instead of using EB curing ink, the formula no longer contains suspected photoinitiators, and the small molecular components are greatly reduced. With the help of nitrogen suppression and oxygen suppression, combined with formula optimization, hygienic and safe high-performance printing has been fully realized in Europe, America and other places.

Due to strict printing hygiene standards, EB curing ink printing will also become a high-growth direction in the radiation curing industry. With the miniaturization of low-energy EB accelerators, more and more printing equipment in Europe and the United States have installed EB curing devices.

In addition, the high weather resistance, high environmental protection and functional effect obtained by EB curing have made the EB curing coating industry develop greatly.
