Silicone radiation-curable coating

Majof silicone suppliers have been developing radiation-curable coatings for some time now the solventless systems lend themselves to this approach since all the space radiant energy can be directed at the polymer system for curing, and none wasted for solvent evaporation or in the substrate. The energy source referred to may be either ultraviolet or electron-beam radiation, and the objective is a very rapid zero-temperature controllable cure, with much of the control occurring through the intensity of the source.

Among the most successful of the new radiation-curable silicone coating systems are compositions Incorporating cycloaliphatic epoxyfunctional silicone polymers with compatible iodonlum salt photocatalysts (1 - S ) The syntheses, structures, UV cure response, and other properties of these materials and some of their derivatives and monomeric homologs are discussed In the balance of this chapter. Their specific application for release coatings has been described In great detail elsewhere (5.6 > and Is not the subject of this paper.
