Method for producing low/medium gloss appearance with UV curable powder coatings

摘要

Low gloss appearance in a coating derived from UV curable powder coatings can be achieved by using UV curable powder containing crystalline components or blends of crystalline and amorphous components and after heat fusing the powders together, allowing the crystalline components in the coating time to flow out and recrystallize to form a matte low gloss finish at a temperature of about the melting point of the crystalline component before curing with UV radiation.
