UV LED webinar series 2024
In 2024, RadTech Europe hosted a second UV LED webinar series. In 2023, the topics were on UV LED basics and general knowledge. In 2024, we wanted to take a closer look into UV LED in certain applications. See below all recordings (accessible to all).
Wednesday 5 June 2024 3 PM CEST - Exploring the opportunity with LED curing for wood coating
Presented by David Ivarsson, Efsen
This seminar will go over both general and specific benefits with the UV-LED technology in the wood coatings industry, with examples from commercial production where the technology has been implemented. The main challenges with the technology will be discussed, along with strategies to overcome these challenges, both from a process, technology and formulation point of view. Some light will also be shed on what application steps are the easiest to convert to LED and what makes for a quick return on investment.
