The application effect of reverse uv primer has a crucial impact on the quality of the final product. With the help of scientific testing methods, it can be effectively predicted before actual application.
First, conduct viscosity test. Use a viscometer to measure the viscosity value of reverse uv primer. The viscosity is directly related to the coating performance of the primer. If the viscosity is too high, it may cause uneven coating and large thickness differences, affecting the curing effect and appearance flatness; if the viscosity is too low, it may cause sagging during coating, so that the primer cannot be accurately attached to the surface of the substrate. By testing the viscosity, its construction operability can be preliminarily judged.
Second, the curing speed test. Use special curing monitoring equipment to record the time required for the primer to change from liquid to solid under specific UV light intensity and wavelength. Too fast curing speed may cause the problem of surface curing and incomplete internal reaction, resulting in reduced coating adhesion; too slow will reduce production efficiency and may cause the coating to be disturbed by environmental factors and unstable quality. Knowing the curing speed in advance will help optimize lighting parameters and production processes.
Third, surface tension measurement. Use a surface tension meter to measure the surface tension of the primer. The appropriate surface tension can ensure good wetting and adhesion between the primer and the substrate. If the surface tension does not match, defects such as shrinkage holes and pinholes may occur, affecting the integrity and aesthetics of the coating. The test results can provide a basis for selecting suitable substrates or adjusting the primer formula.
Fourth, wear resistance test. Simulate the friction environment in actual use of the product, such as using a Taber wear tester to perform a wear test on a sample coated with a primer, and evaluate its wear resistance by measuring the mass loss or coating thickness change before and after wear. If the wear resistance is poor, the primer layer is prone to wear during subsequent processing or use, which in turn affects the durability of the entire product.
Fifth, chemical resistance test. Soak the primer sample in different chemical reagents such as acid, alkali, and solvent for a certain period of time, and observe the changes in the coating, such as whether it bubbles, discolors, or peels off. This can know in advance the tolerance of the primer when facing possible chemical substances. For some special application scenarios, such as food packaging and chemical product labels, chemical resistance testing is particularly important.
Sixth, gloss test. Use a gloss meter to measure the gloss of the primer. Different application needs have different requirements for gloss. Too high or too low gloss may not meet the product design concept. The test data can guide the adjustment of the primer formula or production process to achieve the expected gloss effect.
Finally, by comprehensively analyzing the above test data, the effect of reverse uv primer in actual application can be comprehensively and accurately predicted in advance, providing strong support for production process optimization, formula adjustment and product quality control, ensuring stable performance and reliable quality of the product in subsequent production and use.
