UV Cured Water-based Coatings: A Solution for Industrial Surfaces

As the industrial world moves forward, so too does the demand for better coatings – there is no getting around it. Out of a variety of cosmitic options available, UV cured water based coatings have situated themselves as the best options for industrial surfaces. With their unique combination of being eco-friendly, long lasting and efficient, these coatings are changing the game for manufacturing, automotive, electronics and many other industries. Another forward-thinking coating technologie company, BANFERT, has created UV curable water based coatings to reflect all the potential of an industrial application. 

UV Cured Water Based Coatings: What are they Actually?

UV cured water based coatings use water as a major solvent and applied anti corrosion water based coatings and then cured through use of uv light. These eco-friendly coatings do not emit harmful Volatile Organic Compounds as do typical solvent-based coatings. After the surface to be coated has been painted, it is subjected to ultraviolet light – this causes the coating to cure and harden very quickly, making it durable and resistant to damage and other harsh conditions.

Benefits of UV Cured Water-based Coatings

1. Less Polluting: Water-based coatings have lower VOC emissions and can therefore be a preferable option in industries that seek to be more sustainable.

2. Fast-Setting: UV curing is a rapid process which facilitates mass production and minimizes operational disruption in factories.

3. Excellent Stability and Protection: The coatings too protect against UV radiation, chemicals, and physical abrasion. They harden to a long-lasting coating which is appropriate for even the most extreme industrial conditions.

4. Better Aesthetics: Gloss and smoothness of surfaces is enhanced with the application of water-based coatings, thus making it possible where aesthetics are of importance.

BANFERT’s Research and Development Focusing on Industrial Coatings

BANFERT has recently been spearheading the research and development of water-based coatings which are UV cured. The coatings research done at Banfert is purely engineered to focus on different industrial applications. Be it metal, plastic or wood, Banfert has developed coatings which have strong bonding properties, high impact strength and excellent weathering characteristics. They are designed to perform a specific coating on specific materials, making sure that the customers receive a coating which provides excellent lifetime and performance.

Uses of UV Cured Water Based Coatings

UV cured water based coatings find application in multiple industries. They act as topcoat in the automotive industry providing good finish resistant to scratches, chips and environmental effects. For the electronics industry, these coatings are useful in protecting internal parts from humidity and corrosion, while maintaining good electrical conductivity. In addition, these coatings offer great aesthetics for the product in packaging, furniture, and such which require tough exterior.

Final Thoughts

With the increasing competitive pressures on economical, and non-polluting, solutions for surface treatment, the UV cured water-based coatings, seem to be the answer to the challenges posed in the near future. Thanks to its unique properties of quick curing time, friendly to the environment, and high performance, these coatings are sure engagement for manufacturers and increase product strength and outlook.
