Quick cure for coating
November 1st 2008 When a metal packaging
manufacturer decided to
apply traffic safety signs to
areas of the factory floor,
RapidShield, a UV-curable
floor coating system from
Quaker Chemical was
recommended.
Applied to a prepared,
clean floor, it is cured
instantly by a portable unit
that emits UV-light, turning
the coating into a solid film
which creates a strong bond
to the substrate. The fast cure
means that within minutes,
the floor can be used.
The Delmar Group used
a planetary grinder to
prepare the area and, using
rollers, applied RapidShield
coats of clear, safety yellow
and anti-skid to create five
durable 4m STOP signs
and three Zebra stripes -
each taking about 60min.
Non-flammable, low odour
RapidShield contains neither
solvents nor isocyanates
and complies with VOC and
HAP regulations. More articles from Quaker Chemical Ltd: |
