Knowledge base

This package contains all the presentations that were given at the RTE Conference 2009, held from 18 - 20 October 2011 in Basel, Switzerland.The theme of this conference was UV/EB – Green Technology for Innovation!

This package contains all the presentations that were given at the RTE Metal Coatings Seminar 2011, held at OCAS N.V. in Belgium. While UV & EB technology is already used in a wide variety and increasing number of industrial segments, RadTech-Europe envisions UV/EB technology to gain a still broader acceptance throughout the European Industry.

UV coatings on metal:Pilot / industrial trials: Industrial trials on coil-coating lineMetallic substrates and surface preparation: Surface chemistry and wettability vs Roughness and degreasing of galvanized steel & Corrosion resistance vs cleaning of hot rolled steel pipesFormulation and UV curing: High Throughput Exper

An outline of the advantages of EB curing compared to conventional coil coating lines and new low energy EB equipment which has been engineered specifically for coil coating applications. An EB pilot line testing was used to demonstrate the feasibility of the technology.
