Curing methods of hybrid coatings

high temperature (130-160 °C)

 long curing period (1-2 h) for organic cross-

linking reaction ( e.g. ring opening of epoxy),  

partly inorganic condensation reaction

not suitable for many substrates and processes

low temperature method

no limitations concerning substrates

short curing period for organic cross-linking, e.g. radical polymerization of acrylics

suitable for fast in-line processes

initiator free curing possible with EB

• low temperature method
• no limitations concerning substrates
• no limitations as associated with UV-technol.
•  (O2-inhibition, absorption by pigments) 

• Protective coatings (scratch resistant, antisoiling)
• Sensor layers
• Coatings for glass fibers or sheets
• UV adhesives
• Submicronstructured anti-reflective coatings
