Light curing automotive coatings - the highest level of paint (1)
The car body paint is a kind of art, and strive to do a good to hear or see the producer, flawless jade. On the other hand, year after year to car sun and rain and wind and subjected to erosion, acid rain, and snow melting agent from the brine, rock erosion. In this case, to maintain a beautiful appearance and prevent corrosion is the strict requirements of the paint. Therefore, automotive coatings are considered to be the highest level of paint.
Light curing coatings have various advantages, to make light curing coating into the ranks of automotive coatings, in addition to paint itself to meet the requirements, but also need to have the appropriate coating and curing equipment. Usually curable coatings are generally used for coating flat and simple shape objects, because the automobile parts shape varies, so in line with the requirements of three-dimensional (3D) coating and curing equipment, the combination can be completely into the automotive field. The recent North American light curing exhibited a cooperative meeting by the company developed the model of radiation curing car, the car uses a variety of radiation curing technology is the most advanced, its shell is made of composite material prepared by electron beam curing coating, almost all using UV curing coatings, fully demonstrated the great potential of light curing technology the.
Automobile housing most of the steel, but also has been widely used in plastics, paint and thus have different requirements. In addition, the car repair paint is also an important part of automotive coatings.
Development of the main varieties of light cured Automotive Coatings
(a) light curing repair primer.
The metal parts of the car body especially the metal bottom with commonly used cathode electrophoresis paint or other anti rust paint, containing a large amount of pigments and additives fill, UV curing coating is difficult to replace, but when the body is damaged, to be repaired, it is not possible to use paint primer also difficult to use hot solid type paint, paint curing at room temperature you need to spend too much time. Now ICI has invented a light curing primer UVSpeedprime, which uses resin group commonly used in electronic devices, for low energy UV light initiator and special pigment composition, adding pigment can meet the requirements of corrosion resistance, hardness, extinction and pore filling, but does not affect the curing rate. The product is transparent and generally opaque. The paint is easy to apply, and use an easy sanding, low color ultraviolet lamp to experts can be cured in 2 minutes, after processing and after grinding can be coated with paint, the whole process is quick and easy to repair.
