The International Radcure Market

Our all-encompassing reports on the radcure market - the industry of UV curable coatings and other products - examine the regions of Europe, Asia-Pacific and North and South America.

The technology used by the radcure market is based on UV curable formulations. Used as coatings, inks and adhesives these formulations are cross-linked by high-intensity ultraviolet light sources. The coating technique unique to the radcure market differs from those used in conventional coatings in that the solvent and resin used in thermally cured coatings are replaced by a reactive liquid where the pigment and other additives are dissolved.

The four major parts of the radcure market are identified as the raw material producers, the ink and coating formulators, and the suppliers of curing equipment such as UV lamps and electron beam accelerators. Radcure end-user markets include graphic arts, industrial coatings, opto-electronics and adhesives.

With ever tightening legislation on environmental concerns, the radcure market has a distinct advantage globally. The very low energy requirement to cure the paints and the low content of volatiles make UV curable coatings a very clean technology. These coatings are also well suited to use on heat-sensitive materials.

The relative importance of radcure market applications differs widely in Europe, North & South America and Asia-Pacific, so these research reports provide a very necessary and detailed picture of these mutually exclusive markets. The information is therefore vitally important to any operator entering or diversifying into these radcure markets.
