AN APPARATUS FOR THE APPLICATION OF A CURABLE COMPOSITION TO A FASTENER AND CURABLE COMPOSITIONS SUITABLE FOR APPLICATION TO A FASTENER

摘要

An apparatus (1) for the application of a composition curable by irradiation to a fastener (2) having a conveyor (3) for conveying fasteners to an application station (5); an application station (10) comprising an applicator from which the composition is dispensed. The conveyor rotates the fasteners past the applicator for application of composition. The same or another conveyor (8) conveys the fasteners to an irradiation station (10) and rotates the fasteners for irradiation thereof. The irradiation station irradiates and thus cures the composition applied to each fastener. The invention also provides a curable composition for application to a threaded article.
