Abstract: Disclosed are environmentally friendly, substantially all solids coating compositions which are curable using ultra violet and visible radiation. In addition, methods for coating surfaces, or at least a portion of the surfaces, and curing of the coated surface to obtain partially or fully cured coated surfaces are also disclosed. Furthermore, articles of manufacture incorporating fully cured coated surfaces are disclosed, in particular motor vehicles and motor vehicle parts or accessories.

Abstract: Disclosed are environmentally friendly, substantially all solids coating compositions which are curable using ultraviolet and visible radiation. In addition, the disclosed coating compositions are suitable for coating composite objects and/or objects comprising composite materials, such as, but not limited to, fiberglass, fire retardant fiberglass, carbon fiber, fire retardant carbon fiber, Kevlar®, and fire retardant Kevlar®. In addition, methods are disclosed for coating surfaces, or at least a portion of the surfaces, and curing of the coated surface to obtain partially or fully cured coated surfaces. Furthermore, articles of manufacture incorporating fully cured coated surfaces are disclosed, including, for example composite architectural panels. Also disclosed are methods, processes, production lines, articles of manufacture, and factories which incorporate these environmentally friendly, substantially all solids coating compositions curable using ultraviolet and visible radiation.

Abstract: A composition of matter incorporating nanotechnology with UV curable materials for the coating of fiberglass. A one-part, substantially solvent-free coating composition for applying to fiberglass substrates, consisting essentially of: a polymerizable compound which comprises a mixture of acrylates, photoinitiator or a photoinitiator mix, silicon dioxide monospheres, and surfactant or mixture of surfactants.

Abstract: A process for applying an opaque, corrosion resistant, 100% solids, UV curable finish to parts for underhood use in motor vehicles with the steps of: 1. Prepare a UV curable, 100% solids, opaque, corrosion resistant coating. 2. Apply the coating to underhood motor vehicle parts by the use of HVLP or electrostatic spray. 3. Cure the coating with single or a combination of ultra-violet lights containing an array ultraviolet frequencies sufficient to provide both a surface cure and to penetrate the opaque pigment to provide curing and adhesion to the substrate. Lights must be configured in such a way that every surface of the parts must be struck by the necessary array of frequencies of light. Use no heat. 4. Parts are ready to handle or ship immediately. This process cuts the time, energy, and space needed to coat and cure opaque, corrosion resistant parts. It also eliminates the need for pollution control technology.
