IST America to Present Innovative UV & LED Solutions at National Coil Coating Association Fall Technical Meeting

Published: September 10, 2024

IST America (ISTA), a global leader in UV and LED light curing technology, announces its participation in the upcoming National Coil Coating Association (NCCA) Fall Technical Meeting, taking place September 23-25 in Chicago, IL. Chris Davis, Head of Sales for IST America, will present "Utilizing UV & LED Technology in Coil Coating," showcasing cutting-edge advancements in the industry.

Chris Davis’ presentation will explore the transformative benefits of UV and LED curing technology for the coil coating sector. These technologies offer several key advantages, including faster curing times, reduced space requirements, and significant energy savings compared to traditional thermal ovens. UV and LED solutions enable coil coaters to enhance productivity while achieving high-quality finishes in an environmentally friendly manner with reduced carbon footprints.

“UV and LED technology represent a game-changer for coil coaters, providing unparalleled speed and efficiency while significantly lowering energy consumption,” said Chris Davis. “We’re excited to share how IST's innovations can help manufacturers not only improve their bottom line but also make strides toward sustainability.”

The presentation will cover real-world applications of UV and LED technology, including the use of UV-curable primers and topcoats for galvanized steel, aluminum claddings, and other materials. By utilizing these advanced systems, coaters can achieve superior surface finishes, increased line speeds, and energy efficiency, all while eliminating the need for cooling processes or high-temperature curing ovens. Chris will also highlight the role of IST's hybrid UV-LED systems in achieving matte surfaces and how excimer technology enhances product aesthetics and functionality.
