With an exhibition and a congress, the latest innovations and cutting-edge solutions
for sustainability across the supply chain will be demonstrated by around 150 com-
panies based in Brazil and abroad.
Por Lucélia Monfardini
greater emphasis will be placed
on innovative applications and
the latest developments, such as
UV-curing water-based coatings
(WB-UV). Another example are
some technological breakthroughs
that have made UV coatings more
viable for automotive refinish by
incorporating such features as
adhesion to metallic substrates
and flexibility.
The equipment involved in the UV
curing process, such as lamps, ra-
diometers and other devices, will be
in the spotlight in several lectures
addressing different aspects of its
use. Another lecture will be given
on the trend towards seeking lower
viscosity values and increasing
pigmentation levels in printing ink
applications and the consequences
thereof.
Systems employing the double cure
technology will be stressed as well,
which are based on a combination
of ultraviolet curing and PU 2K. The
program further extends to mate-
rials known as bioligomers, which
are set apart for being produced
from renewable sources, while pre-
serving quality in the end product
and providing such benefits as low
VOCs, low energy consumption and
high productivity.
“A high-quality program has been
put together which is directly
linked with the central theme
for Abrafati 2001 in order to add
value to the trade show. We are
certain that by bringing toge-
ther renowned experts to discuss
current themes, the congress will
arouse interest in professionals
who seek to improve their know-
ledge of this important technolo-
gy,” days Ferreira.
