Zusammenfassung:The objectives of ESTCP Project WP-0801 are, first, to demonstrate a VOC-free, HAP-free, UV-curable powder coating on DoD hardware; and second, demonstrate that this UV-curable powder can be robotically cured. The marriage of robotics and UV-curable powder coatings offers a non-hazardous and cost-effective alternative to existing painting procedures. In this project, we mounted both the IR heating source used for initial powder melting as well as the UV light source onto an industrial robot.
