Transitioning to lower energy consumption technologies: UV/EB cured coatings for coil

Amidst rising and fluctuating energy expenses, increasingly stringent emission regulations, and an overall drive for environmentally conscious manufacturing practices, many finishing experts are seeking solvent-free curing solutions. We offer diverse materials for various curing technologies, empowering our customers to reduce their energy consumption and adopt more sustainable practices.
Coil Coatings: Challenge
Precoated metal offers a multitude of advantages, ranging from enhanced aesthetics to economic efficiencies, making it the preferred substrate across a broad spectrum of construction applications.
In efforts to decarbonize the industry, coil coating players are championing UV/EB coating technology as a transformative force. As per the European Coil Coating Association (ECCA), UV/EB curing technology has the potential to cut energy consumption by at least 60% compared to conventional methods.
As a pioneer in energy curing systems, Arkema supports this transition with a full range of high performing solutions suited to UV/EB coating technologies.
