UV Cured Field Applied Coatings

Since the mid 2000's commercial UV curing has moved out of the factory and into the field, driven by higher coating performance standards and by numerous improvements in UV curing equipment. In these field applied UV curing applications, the substrate to be coated is stationary while the UV curing equipment is moved over the surface or substrate for curing.

The benefits of UV cured field applied floor coatings are similar to factory applied floor panel coatings:
  • Increased productivity
  • Performance
  • Immediate cure aspect provides an added benefit of quality, since the finish will not be damaged once it is cured
  • Cost savings to the end user through immediate use
