Q1: What are the primary challenges of coating foam board (KT board), and how does this UV coating address them?
A: Foam board is porous, low in surface strength, and sensitive to heat and solvents, which can cause warping, surface degradation, or poor adhesion. This coating is formulated with low-irritation resins and controlled penetration to bond effectively without damaging the substrate, while UV curing avoids heat-related distortion.
Q2: What finishing effects and functional benefits does this coating provide?
A: It delivers a smooth, uniform surface in gloss, satin, or matte finishes, enhancing color vibrancy and image clarity. Functionally, it improves scratch resistance, moisture protection, and durability for handling and display, making printed graphics more resilient in short- to medium-term applications.
Q3: Are there specific application or curing requirements for KT board?
A: Apply with controlled coating weight to avoid over-penetration or pooling. Use low-to-medium intensity UV curing to prevent foam deformation from excessive heat. Testing on sample boards is recommended to optimize speed, lamp distance, and coating thickness for consistent results.
