Flat-Line Finishing and UV Cure CoatingsAlthough the Europeans pioneered the use of polyesters for
flat-line finishing, Seagrave’s extensive background in manufacturing high-tech
polymers has , within the last twenty years, enabled us to become an industry leader in
developing polyesters to fill wood and medium-density WHAT DO THE EXPERTS SAY ABOUT UV Cure Coatings?Technically speaking, it’s just about perfectSome have called it the best solution under the sun. Others more modestly claim it simply does just what they need it to do./ Regardless, more and more manufacturers, engineers, scientists and chemists are learning about the technical qualities of UV/EB and calling it a solution for the 21st century. When specially formulated UV/EB chemistries are added to coatings, adhesives and inks, most products can be cured using UV or EB. LOOK AT UV CURE COATINGS THIS WAYCalled "photopolymerization", the ultra violet
(UV) curing process is a photochemical reaction. Specially formulated inks, adhesives and
coatings, mixed with a small percent of materials called photoinitiators, are exposed to a
UV light source. Nearly instantly, they harden by cross-linking the liquid constituents.
The results include decorative inks, tough clear coats, and adhesives with a variety of
properties filling many different manufacturing needs. The results of UV cutting can be
impressive; much less waste, lower energy consumption and higher productivity as well as
reduced pollutant emissions. ROLLER COAT AND CURTAIN APPLICATION

fibreboard in this 
country. Now, thanks to Seagrave, you too can use this technology to
counter the European thrust into the American marketplace and achieve the desirable
European "wet look". Seagrave’s experience in manufacturing our own
polyesters and polyurethane’s also gives us the know-how to develop UV Cure
polyesters that meet the most stringent requirements. As part of our commitment to being
the leading manufacturer of UV
