UV Curable Silicone Release Coatings are reactive silicone chemistry that is coated and UV-cured onto a wide variety of paper and film substrates. The chemistry can be either free radical or cationic in composition. The UV coatings can be applied inline so the product can be laminated, converted and stripped of the matrix all inline. UV curable Silicone Release coatings are used for the following products: Logistic to Variable Information, QSR (Quick Service Restaurants,) bar codes, deli labels, food, health and safety information and instructions, Branding and Primary labels.

PRIME UV provides UV Curing Chambers for both standard air-cured UV silicone release formulations and UV silicone formulations that require Oxygen Exclusion, typically nitrogen-inert process chambers.  Prime’s finely focused elliptical shutter design provides maximum speed with superior UV penetration into all types of UV-curable silicone release formulations.  

Prime’s OPTIMUM & RADMAX Air-cooled UV Series Processors ensure ease of operation for the press operator and maximizes UV peak irradiance and UV dosage for even the highest processing speeds.  In addition, PRIME UV Curing Chambers, for narrow to wide web coating applications, easily install on any coating line to provide instant cure and consistent reliability.

Some of the Advantages of UV for Silicone Release Coatings

• Wide variety of substrates & label applications. 

• Instant Cure

• Higher production speeds

PRIME’S NITRO UV - NITROGEN INERT UV CURING CHAMBER

Custom-designed UV Curing Chambers for converters using UV curable chemistry that mandates minimal oxygen in the UV curing chamber. Benefits of this include widening the selection of substrates that can be used.
