A family of solvent-free, UV curable temporary coatings Engineered to simplify masking to protect against damage from stone chips, bugs, abrasion and fading. These protective films permit the color of the vehicle to show through and also shows the design. These films cure in seconds with UV light They provide superior protection.
Due to the easy application, fast cure,, and reliability of these protective coatings out-perform waxes, paint protective films and other slow curing, solvent-based products. This improved technology offer significant cost saving by reducing labor, eliminating rework and scrap. UV Peel mask is available in several viscosities. These UV curable protective masks and can be applied by spraying, dipping or brushing.
Introduction:
In every surface finishing process masking provides surface protection. Masking may appear to be a simple step min the finishing process, but an analysis shows that it can impact the cost. Although these costs may not be apparent; the masking materials are not the major expense . Ii is the labor of the masking process itself, that is the major cost factor. The more complex the object to be protected; and the longer it takes to apply and remove traditional masks, such as tapes, waxes, and solvent-based lacquers increase costs dramatically. There are additional costs, incurred with using traditional masks. Including scrap, rework, production slow downs, because many traditional masks are flammable and hazardous increased workman’s compensation and higher insurance premiums. will result. When all the costs are added together, it becomes evident that using traditional masking agents are not cost effective The use of UV curable masks. lower priced will provide the cost savings, that will increase profitability.
Twenty first century technology is now available with UV Curable Peelable coating products from General Chemical Corp.
UV_PeelMask_8950 Technology:
UV curing was initial developed for applying adhesives.
UV Curing Systems
The choice of UV curing systems depends upon various factors. These factors are: the U V lamp and the spectral output and intensity, the shape of the part, the volume of parts to be masked,
What different types of UV Curable Masking products are available?
There are three basic grades of UV masking resins, they can be grouped by their removal mechanism: burn-off, peelable, or water soluble.
