Radiation curable coatings provide a much better alternative for conventional curing technology due to environmental regulations. It provides numerous process advantages and offers excellent physical and chemical properties to the finished product. In addition, it can be used on a variety of temperature-sensitive substrates.

"Robust product performance combined with high productivity makes them a preferable coating technology for various industries such as printing & packaging, wood, electronics, and plastics," notes Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Easwaran.S.A. "Increasing awareness of the numerous benefits of radcure coatings among formulators and end-user markets is encouraging market growth," states Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst Krithika Tyagarajan.

However, the high price of equipment and consumables in radcure technology requiring substantial investment is hindering widespread adoption. This is becoming a major entry barrier to the most participants, particularly small-sized companies.

The price range of UV and EB curing system begins from $100,000 and $800,000 respectively and the price of radcure coating per gallon is much higher than that of conventional coatings.

"These wide price differences inhibit the growth rate of radcure coatings despite the regular slash in price of the curing system in recent years," notes Easwaran. "In addition, the limited availability When customers of the PSTN make telephone calls, they commonly make use of a telecommunications network called a switched-circuit network. In a switched-circuit network, devices known as switches are used to connect the caller to the callee.  of raw materials and its high price due to the volatility in oil price reduce the conversion rate of radcure technology."

Formulators should have a broader perspective on radcure coating technology, focusing on the long-term benefits of these coatings in terms of energy savings can help remove their perception of high cost. Curing of these coatings is much faster as against the conventional coatings, requiring lesser energy for the curing process. As a result, the company can save approximately 60 to 90 percent on the utility, which can reduce the payback period Payback Period

"Participants must constantly engage in research and development (R&D) activities to bring out new coating formulations to develop new applications, as this market is set to gain more prominence by expanding its scope of applications," states Krithika Tyagarajan.
