The effectiveness of UV-LED photopolymerisation over conventional UV-mercury for polyurethane acrylate coating
This paper presents the effect of UV-LED and UV-mercury as the light source toward curing behaviour of urethane acrylate coating. The UV-curable coating was prepared based on aliphatic urethane acrylate oligomer, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), trimethylolpropane triacrylat...

This paper presents the effect of UV-LED and UV-mercury as the light source toward curing behaviour of urethane acrylate coating. The UV-curable coating was prepared based on aliphatic urethane acrylate oligomer, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), and commercial photoinitiator. The effect of irradiation time on curing behaviour was investigated using Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) and the percentage of C=C conversion was calculated. From the ATR-FTIR spectra, the C=C absorption peak at 810 cm-1 and 1635 cm-1 was found to be decreased after UV irradiation, indicated the proceeding of the polymerisation reaction.
