CURING COATINGS ON GLASS CONTAINERS

摘要

A method of applying a coating to a glass container, which includes the steps of coating an exterior surface of the glass container with a thermally-curable coating material containing electrically-conductive nanoparticles, and exposing the coated container to radio frequency radiation such that absorption of the radio frequency radiation by the nanoparticles internally heats and cures the thermally-curable coating material on the exterior surface of the glass container to result in a cured coating on the glass container.
