Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for imparting a specified gloss level to a coating on an article. Background technique
[0002] The final gloss of a coating such as a 100% solids UV curable topcoat depends on a number of parameters that are difficult to control. For example, properties of the coating solution itself, such as resin binder used in the formulation, formulation viscosity, and matting pigment content, can have an impact on the final gloss level of the topcoat. In addition, curing conditions, such as curing speed, temperature, and oxygen inhibition, have an impact on the gloss of the final coated product. In order to achieve an extremely low gloss finish, the coating solution typically has an extremely high content of matting pigments to roughen the surface of the cured coating. However, this higher pigment content also reduces the flow properties of the coating solution.
[0003] Furthermore, conditions in a production facility...
