New
Opportunities
for UV-Curable
Powder Coatings
The growing demand for radiation cured coating technology brings into focus the significant economic, environmental and process benefits of UV-curing. UV-cured powder coatings fully capture this trio of benefits. As energy costs continue to increase, the demand for
“green” solutions will also continue unabated as consumers demand new and improved
products and performance.
Markets reward firms that are innovative and adopt new technologies by incorporating these technological advantages into their products and or processes. Developing
products that are better, faster and cheaper will continue to remain the norm that drives
innovation. The purpose of this article is to identify and quantify the benefits of UV-cured
powder coatings and demonstrate that UV-cured powder coatings meet the “Better,
Faster and Cheaper” innovation challenge.
